Verse 1:
   F
My heart is playing tricks on me 
C      
...and it´s building bricks on me
  Bb
I can't break through
      Dm
and I can´t face you
   F
My world is turning slowly now
C
...but it's burning up somehow
  Bb
I need some time
   Dm
to know what's right
            C
'Cause it's only in the
Am
quiet that I
C
feel some relief


Chorus:
F                           Eb
...I´m trying hard not to resist the joy
F                                Eb
...Don´t listen to me, I'm being paranoid
F                                Eb
...I might try hard but it's too hard to avoid
   Dm
My heart skips a beat; my heart skips a beat


Verse 2:
   F
My heart is always first to know
C
...and as the feeling grows
  Bb
I can't deny
           Dm
push those thoughts aside
   F
My world is full of loveliness
C
...but I focus on the stress
   Bb
My heart says “Go”
       Dm
but my brain says “No”
         C
And it's only in the
Am
quiet that I
C
hear myself breathe


Chorus:
F                           Eb
...I´m trying hard not to resist the joy
F                                Eb
...Don´t listen to me, I'm being paranoid
F                                Eb
...I might try hard but it's too hard to avoid
   Dm
My heart skips a beat; my heart skips a beat


Bridge:
Am
-Oh, I know this time 'cause it's
Dm
physical (Ha, ha, ha-ooo)
Am
My blood has stopped and I am
Dm
breathless as well (Ha, ha, ha-ooo)
Am
But I need a minute to con-
 Dm
-vince myself
            C
'Cause it's only in the
Am
quiet that I
C
know what to feel


Chorus:
F                           Eb
...I´m trying hard not to resist the joy
F                                Eb
...Don´t listen to me, I'm being paranoid
F                                Eb
...I might try hard but it's too hard to avoid
   Dm
My heart skips a beat; my heart skips a beat

My heart skips a beat

My heart skips a beat
