D            A         D
I've tried playing it cool
D             A          G
But when I'm looking at you
G       A        Bm
I can't ever be brave
        G           A     D
'Cause you make my heart race

D        A           D
Shot me out of the sky
D           A    G
You're my kryptonite
G         A        Bm
You keep making me weak
        G         A      D
Yeah, frozen and can't breathe

G                         D
Something's gotta give now
           Bm                     A
Cause I'm dying just to make you see
        G                       D
That I need you here with me now
       Bm             A     D
Cause you've got that one thing

Chorus:
    D            G        A         D
So get out, get out, get out of my head
     Bm        G      A   D
And fall into my arms instead
D           G             A          Bm
I don't, I don't, don't know what it is
    G           A     D
But I need that one thing
     Bm             A     D
And you've got that one thing

Now I'm climbing the walls
But you don't notice at all
That I'm going out of my mind
All day and all night

Something's gotta give now
'Cause I'm dying just to know your name
And I need you here with me now
'Cause you've got that one thing

Chorus:
So get out, get out, get out of my head
And fall into my arms instead
I don't, I don't, don't know what it is
But I need that one thing
So get out, get out, get out of my mind
And come on, come into my life
I don't, I don't, don't know what it is
But I need that one thing
And you've got that one thing
(Woah, woah, woah)
You've got that one thing

        G   Bm
Oh ooh woah
        D   A
Oh ooh woah
        G   D
Oh ooh woah
D               A
You've got that one thing

D             G        A         D
Get out, get out, get out of my head
     Bm        G      A   D
And fall into my arms instead

Chorus:
So get out, get out, get out of my head
(Get out, get out, get out of my head, yeah)
And fall into my arms instead (Instead)
I don't, I don't, don't know what it is
But I need that one thing (I need that one thing)
So get out, get out, get out of my mind
(Out of my mind)
And come on, come into my life
I don't, I don't, don't know what it is
But I need that one thing
And you've got that one thing
