I cannot help it

I couldn't stop it if I tried

I feel whole

And I'd rather be in love with you
Verse 2

Turn out the lights now
F C
To see is to believe
Dm Bb
I just want you near me
F C Dm Bb
I just want you here with me

And I'd give up everything only for you
F C Bb
It's the least that I could do
Repeat Chorus, but add on
Dm Bb F C
and I feel you holding me
Dm Bb F C
