Intro: 

G7 

Dm  Em, Am (x3) 
Dm  Em, F  G, C 

Verse 1: 

G7            Dm       Em 
 Whenever I'm with him, 
             Am 
Something in-side, 
         Dm       Em 
Is still burning, 
        Am 
And I'm filled with desire. 

Bridge 1: 

Dm             Em 
 Could it be a Devil in me, 
      F                       G 
Or is this the way love's sup-posed to be? 

Chorus 1: 

            C 
It's like a heatwave, burning in my heart. 
I can't keep from crying; tearing me apart. 

Verse 2: 

G7           Dm             Em 
 Whenever he calls my name; 
       Am 
Sounds soft, sweet and plain. 
      Dm          Em      Am 
Right then, right then; I feel this burning pain. 

Bridge 2: 

         Dm                        Em 
Has this high blood pressure got a hold on me, 
      F                       G 
Or is this the way love's sup-posed to be? 

Chorus 2: 

            C 
It's like a heatwave, burning in my heart. 
I can't keep from crying; tearing me apart. 

Interlude: 

Dm  Em, Am (x3) 
Dm  Em, F  G, C 

Verse 3: 

G7           Dm              Em 
 Sometimes I stare in space; 
          Am 
Tears all over my face. 
           Dm                    Em 
I can't ex-plain it, don't under-stand it; 
      Am 
Ain't never felt like this before. 

Bridge 3: 

    Dm                      Em 
Now this funny feeling, got me amazed; 
      F                   G 
Don't know what to do; my head's in a haze. 

Chorus 3: 

            C 
It's like a heatwave.
