[Verse 1]
Bb      Bb6        Cm7
Scarlet burn, every light
 Cm7/Eb  Bb     Bb6
Fever raged at night
              Cm7                     Cm7/Eb
Icy sweats and shaking, I thought that I would
Bb Bb6
Die
Bb      Bb6        Cm7
She come to me, like a rock of ages
Cm7/Eb         Bb            Bb6
Slowly, but no mistaking here there
Cm7
Standing by, and then she look into me
         Cm7/Eb       F7
Then she look into my eyes

[Chorus]
               Bb                Cm7
And she said, hey you, don't you hesitate
              Cm7/F  Bb
Girl, why you be so shy?
              Bb                   Cm7
You got your whole life waiting in front of you
               Cm7/F        Bb
Don't let this chance slip by
Bb             Cm7
La la la la la la la la
        Cm7/F   Bb
La la la la la la
             Bb
You got the whole world waiting
    Cm7
In front of you, you only fail if you
Cm7/F Bb
Never try

[Verse 2]
Bb      Bb6        Cm7
I close my eyes, and back I go
                Cm7/Eb    Bb
Sat on a knee when I was four
         Bb6              Cm7
Drinking tea out of my grandmother's cup
                        Cm7/Eb   Bb
Oh we were poor, but we didn't know

Bb      Bb6           Cm7
See now, life it goes by in a blink
                Cm7/Eb         Bb
And I know that I drink for comfort
Bb     Bb6            Cm7
But me-e-e, I'm gonna straighten up
         Cm7                         Cm7/Eb        F7
I'm gonna pull myself together, gonna hear her and remember

[Chorus]
Bb                Cm7
Hey now you, don't you hesitate
              Cm7/F  Bb
Girl, why you be so shy?
              Bb                   Cm7
You got your whole life waiting in front of you
               Cm7/F        Bb
Don't let this chance slip by
Bb             Cm7
La la la la la la la la
        Cm7/F   Bb
La la la la la la
             Bb
You got the whole world waiting
    Cm7
In front of you, you only fail if you
Cm7/F Bb
Never try

And then she look into me

Then she look into my eyes

[Chorus]
               Bb                Cm7
