Intro: Dm F Gm A#m 


verse 1 

                 Dm                
There’s a set of rickety stairs 
                           F 
In between my heart and my head 
                                       Gm              
And there ain’t much that ever bothers going up them 
                 A#m 
Here we go at it again 
Dm                                      F 
And once it’s started it’s so tricky to stop 
                                          Gm 
Suddenly reminded of things I thought I’d forgot 
                              A#m 
You’ve got me loosening up my grip on the plot 


A#m 

             Gm 
And It feels like 
     C#                       F 
Your entrance just caused the temperature to rise 
            Gm 
You’d got a look in your eyes 
C# 
As you snuck in the side 


verse 2 

Dm F Gm A#m 

                Dm 
And the place I thought I was at 
                      F 
Hasn’t yet invited me back 
                                      Gm 
The trouble with the chase is it’s so easy 
To crash 
                                       A#m 
Why colour in the lines if you’re just painting 
It black? 


verse 3 

Dm                                        F 
I thought they were kisses but apparently not 
                                              Gm 
Do you end all your messages with an ‘X marks the spot’? 
                                    A#m 
Just let me know when you want your socks 
Knocking off 


Chorus 

A#m 

             Gm 
And It feels like 
     C#                       F 
Your entrance just caused the temperature to rise 
            Gm 
You’d got a look in your eyes 
C# 
As you snuck in the side 
F 
Guess there’s nothing like the element 
   Gm       A#m Dm 
Of surprise 


Outro 

C#             F 
The element of surprise 
C#             F 
The element of surprise 
C#             F 
The element of surprise 
C#                      F 
The element of surprise
