[Verse 1]
[G]Oh [Am]my[Gdim][F][G][C][Eb][Dm]
[G]heart is [Ebdim]beating w[G]ildly[Baug]
[C]an [G]d it's all because you're [C]here.
[Dm]When I'm not [G]near the girl
[Cm]I lo[Ebdim]ve,[Eb][Dm]
[G]I lov[F#dim]e the girl I'[G]m nea[Em]r.
[G]Everything [C]that [Ebdim]flut ters[Baug] by me
is [Eb]a flame that [Baug]must be fa[Eb]nned
[C#dim]When I ca[Dm]nnot fondle
[Fdim]the hand [G]that [Ebdim]I'm fond of,
I [Dm]fondle [G]the hand at hand
[Am]My h[Dm]eart's i[Ebdim]n a pickle,
it's [Em]con stantly f[Ebdim]ickle
and not to [G]particle, I fear
[Em]When [Dm]I'm n[Ddim]ot near [G]the girl I[Ebdim] love,
[F]I love the girl [G]I'm [Dm]near
[Eb][Edim][Em][Dm]
[G]What if [Em]they[C]'re small
or slender[G]?
What if they're tall or [C]tender?
Long [G]as [F]they've got that
gender [Eb]I sur[Dm]render
[G]Alway[C]s I can't refuse them
[Baug]Always m[Cm]y fe[C]et pursue them[F#dim]
[Baug]Long as [Em]they've got
a [D]booze [G]-em[Gaug]
[Ab]I'm conf[Eb]essing a confession
[C#]An d[Bbm] I hop[Bb]e I'm no[Eb]t ve[Ebdim]rb ose[Bdim]
[Ebdim]When I am not clos[F#dim]e to the [Ebdim]kiss that[Db] I clin[Edim]g to
I [Absus4]cling to the k[Ab]iss that[Absus4]'s close
[Db]As I'm more and more a mor[Cb]tal[C]
[C#]I am more and mo[Eb]re a cas[C]e[Bb]
When I [Eb]am no[Ebm]t faci[Cb]ng t[G]he face that I[C] fancy
[Eb]I fa[Edim]ncy the [Eb]face I f[Ab]ace[Abm][Fdim]
[Bb]For shar[Eb]ing, I'm caring
But soothing, [Bbm]I'm choosing
I'm faithful [Db]to who's and [Fm]is here
[Fdim]When I'm[Bb] not[Eb] near the girl I love,[Db][Eb]
I love the [Ab]girl [Db]I'm near[Fdim]
[Bb][Ebm][Ebdim][Em]
[A]When [Em]I'm n[G]ot near the girl I[Fdim] love,
I [Em]love [G]the girl I'm[A] near
[G]
