HEATWAVE

-10 -10 9  -10  9   -10
When-ev-er I'm with you
8      9  -10  9 8   -10  9   9   -10     
Some-thing in-side starts to burn-ing
8   9    -10     9     -10 9 8
and my heart's filled with fire
7     -6     7    7  8  8   -8  8
Stop this - it's got a hold on me
7   7   -9   7     -9  -9   7    -10   9  9
I said this ain't the way it's s’posed to be
-6    7  -6  7    7    8   -6  7  7  7-88
It's like a heat-wave burn-ing in my heart
7  -10   9     9  -10 -10
I can't keep from cry-ing
6     -6   6   7 -8 7 
It’s tear-ing me a-part

Whenever he calls my name
Sounds so soft sweet and plain
Right then, right there
I feel this burning pain
This high blood pressure's got a hold on me
I said this ain't the way love's supposed to be

It's like a heatwave burning in my heart
I can't keep from crying
Tearing me apart

Whenever I'm with you
Something inside starts burning
And my hearts filled with fire

Something's got me amazed
Don't know what to do
My head's in a haze

It's like a heatwave burning in my heart
I can't keep from crying
Tearing me apart
