Gm
Something's gotten hold of my
F
heart
Keeping my
Eb
soul and my
D7
senses a
Gm
part
Something's gotten into my
F
life
Cutting it's
Eb
way through my
D7
dreams like a
Gm
knife
F
Turning me
Eb
up, and
D7
turning me
Gm
down
F
Making me
Eb
smile, and
D7
making me
Gm
frown
Gm
In a world that was
F
small
I once lived in a
Bb7
time that was
Eb
peace and no
D7
troubles at
Gm
all
But then you came my
F
way
And a feeling (of) un
Gm
known shook my
F
heart,
made me
C7
want you to
F
stay
C7
All of my
F
nights, and
C7
all of my
Eb
days
D7
(yeah I gotta tell you now)
Gm
Something's gotten hold of my
F
hand
Dragging my
Eb
soul to a
D7
beautiful
Gm
land
Yeah, something has invaded my
F
night
Painting my
Eb
sleep with a
D7
colour so
Gm
bright
F
Changing the
Eb
grey, and
D7
changing the
Gm
blue
F
Scarlet for
Eb
me, and
D7
scarlet for
G
you
C

Em
A
Bridge
I
A7
got to know if this is the real thing
I
A9
got to know it's making my heart sing
Wo-hoo-
D
o-ye-e-e-e-e e-
D9
You
D7
smile and I am lost for a lifetime
Each
D9
minute spent with you is the
D7
right time
Every hour, every day
You touch me and my mind goes astray, yeah
Baby, baby
Gm
Something's gotten hold of my
F
hand
Dragging my
Eb
soul to a
D7
beautiful
Gm
land
Something has invaded my
F
night
Painting my
Eb
sleep with a
D7
colour so
Gm
bright
F
Changing the
Eb
grey, and
D7
changing the

Scarlet for
