Man overboard (man overboard).

You can turn on the light in the middle of the night
You can put me to rest, what you do is the best
You can turn me away and get me back the next day
You can fill up my heart or you can tear it apart

Chorus

Bm               E                 A            F#m
You got me so excited, you put my heart on overload.
Bm                 E                  A          F#m
You got my soul ignited, I'm getting ready to explode.
Bm                    E            A              F#m
There ain't no early warning for what I'm going through.
           Bm           E                  A               F#m
I got the fever in the morning because my heart is set on you.
