G                  C         G
And so we meet and there are sparks
G                       C         G
It's gold, it's new and free from sharks
G                     C        G
Your house is big and seems so clean
G                            C        G
Your cleaning lady comes and we're discreet

Em       D           C         G
Are you lightning?  'Cause I'm waiting
Em         D        C       G
What's the timing?  I'm not playing

G - C - G

G                     C      G
And so I act like I'm twenty-one
G                      C      G
Wide eyed and drifting Mon to Sun
G                  C        G
Payback is here my legs are numb
G                      C       G
I'm back at square one feeling dumb

Em  D             C       G
The sweet things, when do they come?
Em     D           C      G
Have I gone deaf?  What's the song?
Em       D           C         G
Are you lightning?  'Cause I'm waiting
Em        D          C       G
This is frightening, I'm not playing

D                       Am
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
G                       D
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

D                                       Am
I see you in my sheets, I see you in my sleep
                      G                             D
I see you through the mirror, you sing when I'm too steep
                                                        Am
The only thing I'm scared of is there a secret that you keep
                 G                               D
I know where you are, but I don't know where you are
                                                Am
Don't make the other wonder or the other's mind stick
                    G                       D
Tell me what you're thinking, do not let me twist
                               Am
Just look at the size of you

Am              G                       D
I see you in my sheets, I see you in my sleep
                                                             Am
I see you when something's funny and I hear you and I almost weep
                  G                           D
I see you from my steps, you're walking up my street
                               Am           G          D
Just look at the size of you

D                                       Am
I see you in my sheets, I see you in my sleep
                  G                          D
I see you from my steps you're walking up my street
                                Am
Just look at the size of you
G                    D
The sun shine on and on
                         Am       G          D
Let the sun shine on and on
