(7)F7/#9 F7 (8) Bbm
feelin' that's so hard to bear, You give me fever
Ch. (1 bar) When you kiss me
Fever when you hold me tight
Fever (fever, burn through) in the mornin'
An' fever all through the night (+ 1 bar)
Listen to me, baby
Hear ev'ry word I say
No one could love you the way I do 'Cause they don't
know how to love you my way, You give me fever
Ch. (1 bar) When you kiss me
Fever when you hold me tight
Fever (fever, burn through) in the mornin'
An' fever all through the night (+ 1 bar)
Bless my soul, I love you
Take this heart away
Take these arms I'll never use An' just be-
lieve in what my lips have to say, You give me fever
Ch. (1 bar) When you kiss me
Fever when you hold me tight
Fever (fever, burn through) in the mornin'
An' fever all through the night (+ 1 bar)
Sun lights up the daytime
Moon lights up the night
My eyes light up when you call my name 'Cause I know
you're gonna treat me right, You give me fever
Ch. (1 bar) When you kiss me
Fever when you hold me tight
Fever (fever, burn through) in the mornin'
An' fever all through the night
Umm-mmm-mmm-mm-mmm-mm
Umm-umm-umm-um-um
Umm-mmm-mmm-mm-mmm-mm
Umm-umm-umm. End: F7#9
