 C
Met him at a party, accidentally brushed his body
        F
On the way to get a drink at the bar
   C
I couldn't wait till later, talking in the elevator
            F
Then we're kissing in the back of the car

      C
That voice in my head says to slow down
        F
But it can't see the way you're looking at me right now
    C
It may not be next week, what I need
     F
And then again, maybe it might be

Chorus:
 C
Could be forever or we might break
 F
That's just the kind of risk that we take
C
My head is yelling that I could get hurt
               F
But I'm gonna jump right in
Baby, with my heartfirst

C
I gotta have ya, gotta see if this works
F
I gotta have ya, wake up in your t-shirt

Who knows what'll happen
Ain't it always kinda magic
When you don't know who's holding the cards? (Ah-ah)
Could be a wish I never knew ya
Or permanently tattooed ya
Only the moon knows what's in the stars
(What's in the stars)

Mmm, that voice in my head says to slow down
But it can't feel your hands on my hips right now
It may not be next year what I need
Then again, maybe it might be

Chorus

C
I gotta have ya, gotta see if this works
          F
(I gotta have ya)
I gotta have ya, wake up in your t-shirt
C
I gotta have ya, diving in heartfirst
       F
(Heartfirst)
I gotta have ya
              C      G
Ooh, I gotta have ya-a

    C                        F
And I can't even stop myself anymore
(Ooh, I gotta have ya)
G                                C
Oh, we couldn't end the perfect night
 F                C
Outside my front door

Chorus

I gotta have it
Gotta see if this works (I gotta have it)
I gotta have it
Wake up in your t-shirt (Wake up in your t-shirt, yeah)
I gotta have it
Diving in heart first (Diving in heart first)
I gotta have it
Yeah, I gotta have ya
