 7  7  7  8   8   8   8  -8
It was a hot summer night~~~
 -8 -8    -8  7  7   7  -6
And the beach~~ was burning
  7    7   8     9  9   9 9  9    8 -8
There was fog crawling over the sand~~
  7  7  -8  8  8   8    8
When I listen to your heart
-8 -8  -8   -8     7    7  -6
I hear the whole world turning
7  -8  -8   -8  -8   -8 
I see the shooting stars 
 -8  -8    -9     8    7   -8    7
Falling through your trembling hands

Chorus
  7    7   7     8   8   8   8
While you were licking your lips
 -8  -8   -8   7   7  -6
And your lipstick shining
7  7   8  8   9   9  9   9  9   8
I was dying just to ask for a taste
-6  7   7   8  8  8  8 -8 -8 -8 -8 7 7   7 -6
Oh we were lying together in a sil~~ver lining
 7  7    -8  -8 -8   -8 
By the light of the moon
-8   -8    -8    -9  -9 8 8   7 -8
You know there's not another moment 
 -9  -9 8 8  7  7
Not another moment
 -9  -9 8 8  7  7  -8 7   7
Not another moment to~~ waste

 7   7   7  -10 -10 -10 9   9  8
Oh well you hold me so ~~ close~~
 8   8    -9   -9    8 
That my knees grow weak
 7   7  -8  -8  8  -8  7   -6 7   7    7 
And my soul is flying high above the ground
-10 -10 -10 -10 -10 8   8  8  -9 -9   -9  -9 8    
I'm try-ing to speak~~ but no matter what I do
8   8    8    8    8   8  8 8   -8 
I just can't seem to make any sound
 6    6   6   -10 -10  -10   -10  -10 10 10  9
And then you took the words right out of my mouth
 9  9  -9   -9   -9    -9   -9  -9   9   8  -8 
Oh it must have been while you were kissing me
 7   -10 -10  -10   -10  -10 10 10  9
You took the words right out of my mouth
 8  8  8   -9   8    -8
Oh and I swear it's true
7  -8  -9  -8 8  -8  8  8  -8 7   7
I was just about to say I love~~ you
 6    6   6   -10 -10  -10   -10  -10 10 10  9
And then you took the words right out of my mouth
 9  9  -9   -9   -9    -9   -9  -9   9   8  -8
Oh it must have been while you were kissing me
 7   -10 -10  -10   -10  -10 10 10  9
You took the words right out of my mouth
 8  8  8   -9   8    -8
Oh and I swear it's true
7  -8  -9  -8 8  -8  8  8  -8 7   7
I was just about to say I love~~ you
