A          E
Baby slow down
F#m               C#m
The end is not as fun as the start
A               E                      F#m  C#m
Please stay a child somewhere in your heart

G                    D        A
I'll give you everything you want
G            D             A
Except the thing that you want
Am           C                 A
You are the first one of your kind

Chorus:
         A        F#m
And you feel like no-one before
      C#m       E
You steal right under my door
        A          F#m
And I kneel 'cos I want you some more
            C#m
I want the lot of what you got
            E
And I want nothing that you're not

A             F#m
Everywhere you go you shout it
C#m                    E
You don't have to be shy about it

Some things you shouldn't get too good at
Like smiling, crying and celebrity
Some people got way too much confidence baby

I'll give you everything you want
Except the thing that you want
You are the first one of your kind

Chorus

Everywhere you go you shout it
You don't have to be shy about it, no

Oh no, oh no no, oh
Do-do do-do, do-do do-do
Do-do do-do, do-do do-do
Do-do do-do, do-do do-do
Do-do do-do, do-do
Sugar come on, show your soul
You've been keeping your love under control

Everywhere you go you shout it
You don't have to be shy about it
Everywhere you go you shout it
Oh my my
And you feel like no one before
You steal right under my door
I kneel 'cause I want you some more
I want you some more, I want you some more
Oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no
