G#m
Just as fast as you came,
just as fast the sun set
    F#
You pushed me away, you pushed me down
                            G#m
Down, down, down, where my dreams lay
And just as quick you left
                                       F#
Just as quick as you left my heart undressed
And I fell down, down, down, down
                             G#m
You took my wish back to the well
    E                              B
And I remember all the words that you said
      E                                        B
That love is just a spark that starts in your heart
            D#
And ends in your head

Chorus:
        G#m         F#
Darling calm down, calm down
        E                    D#
You'll lose yourself in the clouds
G#m        F#
Slow down, slow down
      E                D#
Your world's spinning around
           G#m    F#
May your untamed heart stay
 E                D#
Restless running wild
             C#m           E       F#       G#m
Cause you're only, just a lonely, lonely, child

Just as dark as the night
Just as dark as the night
When I lost my mind, I lost control
Down, down, down
You let me sell my love for my soul
And I remember all the words that you wrote
That love is just a sound that plays in your heart
And gets caught in your throat

Chorus

And I remember all the words that you said
That love is just a spark that starts in your
heart and ends your head

Chorus:
Darling, come down, come down
You'll lose yourself in the clouds
Slow down, slow down
Your world's spinning around
May your untamed heart stay restless running wild
'Cause you're only, just a lonely
Yes you're only, just a lonely, lonely child

Cha-cha-cha!
