Ebm7 - Ebm7 - G#m7 - Bbm7 x2
[Verse]
Ebm7
She was a Jezebel, Miss Brixton queen
Ebm7
Living her life like a bad sweet dream
G#m7
Telling me lies when the truth was clear
Bbm7
I think she knew what I wanted to hear
Ebm7
Spinning around like a wheel on fire
Ebm7
Walking the tightrope on love's highwire
G#m7
A fatal attraction is where I'm at
Bbm7
There's no escaping me
[Chorus]
Ebm7 Bbm7 G#m7
I just wanna be close to you
Bbm7 Ebm7
And do all the things you want me to
Ebm7 Bbm7 G#m7
I just wanna be close to you
Bbm7 Ebm7
And show you the way I feel
[Bridge]
Ebm7
I feel love
C# B
When I'm lying in the midnight hour
C# B
Holding you's just like a dream
C# Ebm7
Love is never what it seems
Ebm7
When we touch
C# B
And you're holding me the way you feel
C# B
Girl, you make my dreams come true
Bbm7
You make my dreams come true
[Chorus 2]

Bbm7 Ebm7
And show you the way I feel
[Verse 2]
Ebm7
She was a Gemini on the cusp of Mars
Ebm7
She holds me back but she goes too far
G#m7
Winding me up just to let me down
Bbm7
So emotional gagged and bound
Ebm7
There's more to this than meets the eye
Ebm7
A devil woman locked inside
G#m7
With the formal rising I was scared
Bbm7
I think I was possesed
[Chorus 3]
Ebm7 Bbm7 G#m7
I just wanna be close to you
Bbm7 Ebm7
And do all the things you want me to
Ebm7 Bbm7 G#m7

Ebm7
I feel love
C# B
Everytime your body's next to mine
C# B
Somethin' deep inside of me
C# Ebm7
Wants to love you endlessly
Ebm7
When we touch
C# B
Girl, you don't know how it makes me feel
C# B
I just can't believe it's real
Bbm7
I can't believe it's real!
[Chorus 4]

[Intro 2/Solo rhythm]
Ebm7 - Ebm7 - G#m7 - Bbm7 x2
[Verse 3]
Ebm7
She had an attitude I can't explain
Ebm7
You never know if your in flame
G#m7
Tying me up with elastic words
Bbm7
I'm on a countdown till I get hurt
Ebm7
Her blood was hot, she burned so bright
Ebm7
A neon sign there in the night
G#m7
It's hard to say if I went too far
Bbm7
My heart still bears a scar
[Chorus 5/Outro]
Ebm7 Bbm7 G#m7 Bbm7 Ebm7
I just wanna be close to you
Ebm7 Bbm7 G#m7 Bbm7 Ebm7
I just wanna be close to you
Ebm7 Bbm7 G#m7
I just wanna be close to you
(She was a Jezebel, this bursting queen living her life like a bad sweet dream)
Bbm7
Telling me lies when the truth was clear
Ebm7

Ebm7 Bbm7 G#m7
