  			              G 
Thought I was over you 
                Bm 
Thought I could start anew 
        C            D                            G 
I got a new job, new friends on the other side of town 
             G 
But here you are again 
            Bm 
Just like a long lost friend 
           C                    D           G      D 
And when I touched your hand it started all over again 

        G           C                G 
I can’t help myself, here comes that feelin' 
C                  D                  G     D 
Just like a ragin’ river rushing over me 
            G          C           G 
No, I can’t help myself, here I go fallin' 
C               D                 G 
Head over heels fallin’ for you again 
 
    
Why does this heart of mine 
Go crazy every time 
When I know down deep inside 
You don’t love me 
But when you’re standing there 
Wind blowin’ thru your hair 
Well I'm startin to make the same old mistake again 
 
Chorus
