Verse: (Play with Barre Chords)
G                             F
Tell me that you want me baby
G                      F
Tell me that it's true
G
Say the magic words
           Bb         C        G   F
And I'd destroy the world for you
G                              F
An army for the broken-hearted
G                         F
March through the streets
G
And every city's burning
         Bb     C          G
To the ground under your feet


Chorus:
D
I wanna hold you

Bm                     Em
My skies are turning black
                    G  A
Feels like a heart attack

Play after (heart attack...)

     G                   A
And I'd do anything you ask
                  D
I wanna hold you bad


Verse: (Play with Barre Chords)
G                            F
Melt the polar ice caps baby
G                          F
Watch them flood the earth
G
And I'd do anything to show you
Bb          C       G   F
What your love is worth
G                                      F
So why don't you show me your devotion
G                       F
To heal my aching heart
G
It's like a neutron bomb explosion
Bb      C    G
Tearing me apart


Chorus:
D
I wanna hold you
Bm                     Em
My skies are turning black
                    G  A
Feels like a heart attack

Bridge:
D           Bm
Attention please
                     E
We interrupt this program
                     A
For some disturbing news
                 D
A worldwide evacuation
                Bm
We're going to lose
                         E
And they pulverize the nation
               G
I guess this shows us
G                    E
Just what love could do
