Verse 1:

             Em7      F#m7          Bm7
Whenever I'm with him, something in-side,

 Could it be a devil in me, or is this the way love's sup-posed to be?

Chorus 1:

            D    G    D  G, D  G
It's like a heat-wave,

 Burning in my heart.

 It's tearing me a-part.

Verse 2:

 Whenever he calls my name; soft, low, sweet and plain.

I feel, yeah, yeah, well, I feel that burnin' flame.

Bridge 2:

    Em7                       F#m7
Has high blood pressure got a hold on me,
      G6                      A7
Or is this the way love's sup-posed to be?

Chorus 2:

 Burning in my heart.
D  G     D    G    D   G   D  G
 I can't keep from cry-ing;

 It's tearing me a-part.

 Sometimes I stare in space; tears all over my face.
           Em7                   F#m7            Bm7
I can't ex-plain it, don't under-stand it; ain't never felt like this before.

Don't know what to do; my head's in a haze.
