               F                D#
You're just a little girl with grey eyes
 F         D#
Never mind say something
 F               D#      F D#
Wait until the crowd cries
 F                D#      F D#
Wait until the crowd cries

Chorus:
    G            Em
So deep in your room
     G                Em
you never leave your room
  Am              Am 
Something deep inside of me
F                 C 
yearning deep inside of me
    D                    C
is talking through the gloom
D            C
What in the world can you do
D            C
What in the world can you do
D            C
I'm in the mood for your love
For your love
For your love

For your love

I'm just a little bit afraid of you
'Cause love won't make you cry
But, wait until the crowd goes
Oh, wait until the crowd goes
I'm just a little bit afraid of you

Chorus

F D#  F                D#
Oh, what you going to say?
Oh, what you going to do?
Ah, what you going to be?
       F     D#        F     D#
To be real me, to the real me

Under the cool,
under the cool and under having a ball
What you gonna say to the real me, to the real me
