Am            D
Oh, here it comes
            Am
That funny feelin' again
           F         G              E
Winding me up inside every time we touch

               D
Hey, I don't know
              Am
Just tell me where to begin
          F          G       E
'Cause I never ever felt so much

A#                  F
  And I can't recall any love at all
D#                              F G
  Oh baby, this blows 'em all away

Chorus:
C                 Am
It's got what it takes
             F         G      C
So tell me why can't this be love
                  Am
Straight from my heart
              F         G      C  Am
Oh, tell me why can't this be love

I tell myself
Hey only fools rush in
Only time will tell
If we stand the test of time

All I know
You've got to run to win
And I'll be damned ifI'll get
Hung up on the line

No, I can't recall anything at all
Oh baby, this blows 'em all away

Chorus:
It's got what it takes
So tell me why can't this be love
You want it straight from the heart
Oh, tell me why can't this be love

It's got what it takes
So tell me why can't this be love
Straight from my heart
Oh, tell me why can't this be love

Baby, why can't this be love
