(Savage Garden)

Hints:

If you see an asterik (*) or a set of asteriks, look at the bottom for the

Eadd9 F#m A2

never want to fly never want to leave

B

never want to say what you mean to me

E F#m A2

never want to run frightened to believe

B

you're the best thing about me

E F#m A F#m A A B A

E F#m A F#m A F#m B *

F#m A

sometimes i feel like this is only chemistry

F#m A

stuck in a maze searching for a way to

F#m A

shut down turn around feel the ground beneath me

F#m A F#m ** A

you're so close where do you end where do i begin always pushing and pulling

F#m A

sometimes sanity takes vacation time on me

F#m A

i'm in a daze stumbling bewildered

F#m A

north of gravity head up in the stratosphere

F#m A F#m ** A ** F#m A

you and i rollercoaster riding love you're the center of adrenalin

and i'm beginning to understand

chorus:

E F#m A

never want to fly never want to leave

B

never want to say what you mean to me

E F#m E

never want to run frightened to believe

B *

you're the best thing about me

F#m A

walk on broken glass make my way through fire

F#m A

these are things i would do for love

F#m A

farewell peace of mind kiss goodbye to reason

F#m A ** F#m A

up is down the impossible occurs each day

** F#m A

this intoxication thrills me i only pray it doesn't kill me

(chorus)

E F#m A F#m A A B A

E F#m A F#m A F#m B **

you're the center of adrenalin

E F#m A F#m A A B A

and i'm beginning to understand
