    G ~               G       

              Here I go (higher, higher) ! Here I go (higher, higher) !

               G

    Here I go, go, go, go, go!!!

 

                      G                    F                     - G - F

    You gotta get me to the world on time,

                      G                    F                   - G - F

    you gotta get me to the world on time.

 

              G                      F                     G                   F

1. The minute you walk in the room I break into a sweat,

            G                       F                             G                  F

    my hands begin to shake so bad, I can't light my cigarette.

               C                       Bb                              C                        Bb

    Then you start walkin' towards me, and my cool comes all undone,

      C                       Bb                     C                       D

    if I could get my feet to move I'd turn around and run.

 

            G                     F                       G                F

    My pulse is beatin' faster, and I'm headin' for disaster,

               G                F                    G                 F                    G

    here I go (higher, higher), here I go (higher, higher), here I go!!!

 

      G                     F                    - G - F

    Get me to the world on time !

                      G                    F                   - G - F

    You gotta get me to the world on time !

 

            G                            F                       G                      F

2. One kiss from you and my whole body starts to actin' strange,

              G                      F                       G                          F

    you shake up all my hormones, you put me through a change.

                C           Bb               C           Bb

    This chemical reaction isn't easy to refine,

             C                   Bb                     C                           D

    you drive me to distraction, you disturb my peace of mind.

 

                           G                   F

    You got me spinning like a top now

               G                            F              - G ~

    and I don't know how to stop now.

 

 

 

 

 

 

G                     F                G                    F    

    Is this what love’s all about ? Lately I feel so without

G                F         - G                    F

    wild sensations,       sweet frustrations,

G                      F           - G                     F              D           ~

    you get me goin' and       there’s no slowin' me down.

               G    - F                      G           - F

    Here I go!       Whoa here I go, go !

                           G                 - F - G - F

    Whoa, here I go, go, go !

 

+ G - F - G - F (4x) ....
