When I get home from my job I turn on my TV
Am7 Em
But I can't keep my mind on the show
Bm C
When I lay down at night, oh I can't get no sleep
Am7 Bm
So I turn on my radio
Am7 Bm Em7
But the only sound I hear is you whisperin' in my ear
Am7 Em7
The words that you used to say
Am7
Now my days grow longer
Em7
'Cause my love grows stronger
C Bm Em7
And the fever gets worse every day
And I've got the fever for this girl
Bm
He's got the fever, oh he's got the fever
Am7 Em
Nothing that a poor boy can do
When he's got the fever for this girl
Bm
He's got the fever, oh he's got the fever
Am7 Bm Em
Left this little boy blue
C
Well I can remember comin' home
G
I see you standin' at the stove
C
With the dishes on the table
G
Dinner ready to go
Bm C
We'll maybe go out to a movie show
Am7 Bm
Something that you like to see
Am7
Well, now, you are my sun in the morning
Em
And my moon at night
Am7
When I think about you
Em
It makes me feel all right
Am7
Well now my days grow longer
Em
The love just grows stronger
C Bm
And the fever gets so bad at night
Em7
I've got the fever for this girl
Bm
He's got the fever, oh he's got the fever
Am7 Em
Nothing that a poor boy can do
When he's got the fever for this girl

He's got the fever, oh he's got the fever
