[Intro]
F#   E
[Verse 1]
Sunday morning F#rain, together we're all Ealone again
And I can feel your F#breath
Beneath the sheets and Eon my skin
Come closer to me F#now, forget about the Eworld outside
'Cause I could die right F#here
So kiss me like we're Eout of time
[Chorus]
We are F#caught up
Stuck in the middle of our love
Chasing the riddle of Ewhat we need
We are all we need
It's F#your touch, gives me a shiver and a wild rush
Chasing the riddle of Ewhat we need
We are all we need
We are F#a---------B-----E--ll
[Verse 2]
Come on, do it F#again
Hold me like you Edid before
You got me hypnoF#tised
We're all that we've been Esearching for
I see it in your F#eyes
And the way your curl your Elip and smile
And I could die right F#here
So kiss me like we're Eout of time
[Chorus]
We are F#caught up
Stuck in the middle of our love
Chasing the riddle of Ewhat we need
We are all we need
It's F#your touch, gives me a shiver and a wild rush
Chasing the riddle of Ewhat we need
We are all we need
We are F#a---------B-----E-ll
       F#A---------B-----E-ll
[Bridge] - No strumming initially (just synth), then funky rhythm halfway through
F#Your heart is my heart
And Emy heart is yours
F#Your heart is my heart
And Emy heart is yours
(I'll say it again)
--
F#Your heart is my heart
And Emy heart is yours
(I'll say it again)
F#Your heart is my heart
And Emy heart is yours
[Chorus]
We are F#caught up
Stuck in the middle of our love
Chasing the riddle of Ewhat we need
We are all we need
It's F#your touch, gives me a shiver and a wild rush
Chasing the riddle of Ewhat we need
We are all we need
We are F#a---------B-----E-ll
       F#A---------B-----E-ll
[Outro] - fade out
F#   E
F#   E
