Chorus:
Em                             D
Something's gotten hold of my heart
            C           B      Em
Keeping my soul and my senses apart
                            D
Something's gotten into my life
             C               B            Em
Cutting its way through my dreams like a knife
 D         C    B         Em
Turning me up, turning me down
 D          C     B        Em
Making me smile, making me frown

Em               D
In a world that was war
                   G
I once lived in a time
          C
That was peace
          B        Em
With no trouble at all
                      D
But then you came my way
                  G
And a feeling Unknown
          D
Shook my heart
             A            D
And made me want you to stay
A          D
All of my nights
    A          C  B
And all of my days I wanna tell you now

Chorus:
Something's gotten hold of my hand
Dragging my soul to a beautiful land
Something has invaded my nights
Painting my sleep with a colour so bright
Changing the grey and changing the blue
Scarlet for me and scarlet for you

     F#
I've got to know if this is the real thing
                                         B
I've got to know what's making my heart sing,
oh yeah
B7
A smile and I am lost for a lifetime
B7
Each minute spent with you is the right time
B7
Every hour (yeah) every day (yeah)
You touch me and my mind goes astray
And baby yeah, and baby yeah

Chorus:
Something's gotten hold of my hand
Dragging my soul to a beautiful land
Something has invaded my nights
Painting my sleep with a colour so bright
Changing the grey and changing the blue
Scarlet for me and scarlet for you
