Verse 1: 
D/F#           G5                 D5 
  When you're around I don't know what to do 
D/F#       G5               D5 
  I do not think that I can wait 
D/F#    G5          D5 
  To go over and to talk to you 
D/F#       G5                 D5 
  I do not know what I should say 
 
Refrain: 
     D/F#        G5 
So I walk out in silence 
       A5 
That's when I start to realize 
         D/F#        G5 
What you bring to my life 
D5                        A5 
Damn this guy can make me cry 
 
Chorus: 
G5     D5    A5 B5 
  It's so conta-gious 
  G5     D5     A5        B5 
I cannot get it out of my mind 
G5     D5    A5 B5 
  It's so outra-geous 
    G5      D5      F#5 
You make me feel so high  
all the time 
 
(Repeat Intro) 
 
Verse 2: 
D/F#       G5                 D5 
  They all say that you're no good for me 
D/F#          G5             D5 
  But I'm too close to turn around 
D/F#        G5                   D5 
  I'll show them they don't know anything 
D/F#           G5              D5 
  I think I've got you figured out 
 
Refrain: 
     D/F#        G5 
So I walk out in silence 
       A5 
That's when I start to realize 
         D/F#        G5 
What you bring to my life 
D5                         A5 
Damn this guy can make me smile 
 
(Repeat Chorus except last line) 
 
Bridge: 
G5              D5 
I will give you everything 
G5               D5 
I will treat you right 
G5          D5 
If you just give me a chance 
F#5 
  I can prove I'm right 
 
(Repeat Chorus twice)
