Intro:

G7

Dm  Em, Am (x3)
Dm  Em, F  G
C

Verse 1:

G7
 Whenever,
    Dm        Em
I'm with him,
             Am
Something in-side.
         Dm       Em
Is still burning,
        Am
And I'm filled,
With desire.

Bridge 1:

Dm
 Could it be,
  Em
A devil in me?
      F
Or is this the way,
           G
Love's sup-posed to be?

Chorus 1:

            C
It's like a heatwave,
Burning in my heart.
I can't keep,
From crying,
Tearing me apart.

Verse 2:

G7
 Whenever he,
Dm              Em
 Calls my name,
       Am
Sounds soft,
Sweet and plain.
      Dm
Right then,
      Em
Right then,
  Am
I feel this,
Burning pain.

Bridge 2:

         Dm
Has this high,
Blood pressure,
      Em
Got a hold on me?
      F
Or is this the way,
           G
Love's sup-posed to be?

Chorus 2:

            C
It's like a heatwave,
Burning in my heart.
I can't keep,
From crying,
Tearing me apart.

Interlude:

Dm  Em, Am (x3)
Dm  Em, F  G
C

Verse 3:

G7
 Sometimes,
  Dm              Em
I stare in space,
Tears all,
Am
 Over my face.

           Dm
I can't ex-plain it,
            Em
Don't under-stand it,
      Am
Ain't never felt,
Like this before.

Bridge 3:

    Dm
Now this,
Funny feeling,
Em
 Got me amazed,
      F
Don't know,
What to do;
   G
My head's,
In a haze.

Chorus 3:

            C
It's like a heatwave.
