7 7 7 8 8 8 8 -8
It was a hot summer night~~~
-8 -8 -8 7 7 7 -6
And the beach~~ was burning
7 7 8 9 9 9 9 9 8 -8
There was fog crawling over the sand~~
7 7 -8 8 8 8 8
When I listen to your heart
-8 -8 -8 -8 7 7 -6
I hear the whole world turning
7 -8 -8 -8 -8 -8
I see the shooting stars
-8 -8 -9 8 7 -8 7
Falling through your trembling hands

Chorus
7 7 7 8 8 8 8
While you were licking your lips
-8 -8 -8 7 7 -6
And your lipstick shining
7 7 8 8 9 9 9 9 9 8
I was dying just to ask for a taste
-6 7 7 8 8 8 8 -8 -8 -8 -8 7 7 7 -6
Oh we were lying together in a sil~~ver lining
7 7 -8 -8 -8 -8
By the light of the moon
-8 -8 -8 -9 -9 8 8 7 -8
You know there’s not another moment
-9 -9 8 8 7 7
Not another moment
-9 -9 8 8 7 7 -8 7 7
Not another moment to~~ waste

7 7 7 -10 -10 -10 9 9 8
Oh well you hold me so ~~ close~~
8 8 -9 -9 8
That my knees grow weak
7 7 -8 -8 8 -8 7 -6 7 7 7
And my soul is flying high above the ground
-10 -10 -10 -10 -10 8 8 8 -9 -9 -9 -9 8
I’m try-ing to speak~~ but no matter what I do
8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 -8
I just can’t seem to make any sound
6 6 6 -10 -10 -10 -10 -10 10 10 9
And then you took the words right out of my mouth
9 9 -9 -9 -9 -9 -9 -9 9 8 -8
Oh it must have been while you were kissing me
7 -10 -10 -10 -10 -10 10 10 9
You took the words right out of my mouth
8 8 8 -9 8 -8
Oh and I swear it’s true
7 -8 -9 -8 8 -8 8 8 -8 7 7
I was just about to say I love~~ you
6 6 6 -10 -10 -10 -10 -10 10 10 9
And then you took the words right out of my mouth
9 9 -9 -9 -9 -9 -9 -9 9 8 -8
Oh it must have been while you were kissing me
7 -10 -10 -10 -10 -10 10 10 9
You took the words right out of my mouth
8 8 8 -9 8 -8
Oh and I swear it’s true
7 -8 -9 -8 8 -8 8 8 -8 7 7
I was just about to say I love~~ you

Now my body is shaking
-8 -8 -8 7 7 7 -6
Like a wave on the water

And I guess that I’m beginning to grin~~
7 7 8 8 8 8 -8
Oh we’re fin’lly alone~~~~
-8 -8 -8 -8 7 7 7 -6
And we can do what we want to
