[Intro] 

Dm  F  Gm  A#m


[Verse 1]

                 Dm               
There’s a set of rickety stairs
                           F
In between my heart and my head
                                       Gm             
And there ain’t much that ever bothers going up them
                   A#m
Here we go, i'm at it again
Dm                                      F
And once it’s started it’s so tricky to stop
                                          Gm
Suddenly reminded of things I thought I’d forgot
                              A#m
You’ve got me loosening up my grip on the plot


[Chorus]

A#

             Gm
And It feels like
     C#                       F
Your entrance just caused the temperature to rise
            Gm
You’d got a look in your eyes
C#
As you snuck in the side


[Verse 2]

Dm F Gm A#m

                Dm
And the place I thought I was at
                      F
Hasn’t yet invited me back
                                      Gm
The trouble with the chase is it’s so easy
To crash
                                       A#m
Why colour in the lines if you’re just painting
It black?


[Verse 3]

Dm                                        F
I thought they were kisses but apparently not
                                              Gm
Do you end all your messages with an ‘X marks the spot’?
                                    A#m
Just let me know when you want your socks
Knocking off


[Chorus]

A#

             Gm
And It feels like
     C#                       F
Your entrance just caused the temperature to rise
            Gm
You’d got a look in your eyes
C#
As you snuck in the side
F
Guess there’s nothing like the element
   Gm       A#m Dm
Of surprise


[Outro]

C#             F
The element of surprise
C#             F
The element of surprise
C#             F
The element of surprise
C#                      F
The element of surprise
