Dm Am7
You ever want something that you know you shouldn't have?
Dm
The more you know you shouldn't have it; the more you want it.
Am7 Dm
And then one day you get it; it's so good to you.
Dm
But it's just like my girl;
Am7 Dm
When she's around me, I just feel so good, so good.
Am7
But right now I just feel cold, so cold,
Dm (n.C)
Right down to my bones. 'Cos ooh...

Wonder this time where she's gone,

Wonder if she's gone to stay?
