              Intro: D7+ A/C# G7+   Bm A/C# C7+ 
       F#m Bm Em  F#m Bm Em  F#m Bm Em  F#m Bm Em 
 
             F#m Bm   Em 
You're gonna fix my heart 
              F#m Bm  Em 
You're gonna free my soul 
          Bm 
Not many learn what 
     Em 
The two of us can do 
     Em 
Or what we do it for 
 F#m Bm Em 
Sign my name 
           F#m  Bm    Em 
I'm gonna join your club 
            Bm 
You give me love and there's 
 Em 
Two of us to feel 
             Bm 
Just say the word 
                  D7+  A/C# G7+ 
And I'm giving my love  to  you 
 
            F#m       Bm 
You got me backtafunk 
               F#m    Bm A 
And I'm still turning 
        F#m       Bm 
Got me backtafunk 
               F#m    Bm A 
And I'm still turning 
            F#m       Bm 
You got me backtafunk 
Bm                  F#m 
I can't explain, no alibi 
      Bm    A      F#m 
The rhythm got me paralyzed 
 Bm F#m    Bm A 
You got me 
 
F#m Bm Em  F#m Bm Em 
 
            F#m  Bm Em 
You call it dé...jà vu 
          F#m  Bm Em 
Of being there before 
        Bm 
So many lose what 
     Em 
The few of us can find 
    Em 
And never mention 
              F#m  Bm  Em 
You're gonna break my will 
             F#m  Bm  Em 
You're gonna take me down 
         Bm 
So many pay 
          Em 
When the two of us can steal 
                Bm 
So give what I want 
                 D7+  A/C# G7+ 
And I could be a king for  you 
 
            F#m       Bm 
You got me backtafunk 
               F#m    Bm A 
And I'm still turning 
        F#m       Bm 
Got me backtafunk 
               F#m    Bm A 
And I'm still turning 
            F#m 
You got me backtafunk 
Bm         F#m 
I was so disorganized 
  Bm    A     F#m 
Rhythm cut me down to size 
 Bm F#m    Bm A 
You got me 
 
 Bb 
Help me I'm in trouble deep 
Bb7+ 
High as I can go 
        D7+   Bm 
It's no crime 
              Em 
There may be love on the street 
         G 
And I'm bad enough 
     Bb 
You got me drowning in my sleep 
   Bb7+ 
But I will find you when I wake 
          G   F#m 
And it's time 
 
F#m Bm F#m Bm A F#m Bm F#m Bm A 
(Bm) Em F#m Bm A C7+ 
 
C7+         Em 
You got me...
