Note: There are more complicated versions out there, but this one is very 
straightforward and I've been playing it for about 6 months with no issues.

Intro - Gm7, Am7, Dm, C 
               
C              Bb   F                            Bb           
You've got the cool water    When the fever runs high
Gm                        A7        Dm7
   You've got the look of lovelight in your eyes
Bb                 F                Bb            F   
And I was in crazy motion      'til you calmed me down
F                  Gm           C         F
  It took a little time But you calmed me down

Chorus: 
F                   C     Bb              F         
When something goes wrong I'm the first to admit it
Bb               F
I'm the first to admit it
Gm                    C
  And the last one to know 
F                   Bb
When something goes right
                         F   A7
Well it's likely to lose me, mmm
             F               Gm              Dm
 It's apt to confuse me It's such an unusual sight
      Bb                 F                        G
Oh, I swear I can't, get used to something so right
C             Bb       
 Something so right

Instrumental: F Bb F  Gm7 Am7 Dm C7  

Note: Play instrumental only after first chorus, then transition 
to "A" chord as you move into the Bridge.

              Bb      F                           Bb      
They've got a wall in china It's a thousand miles long
Gm              A7              Dm7
To keep out the foreigners they made it strong
Bb                          F                      Bbm
And I've got a wall around me, that you can?t even see
F                Gm    C              F
It took a little time, to get next to me

Chorus: 

A

Bridge: 

Dm                                 A
Some people never say the words "i love you"
               F              Bb     A
It's not their style to be so bold
Dm                                 A
Some people never say the words "i love you"
           Dm            G             C
But like a child they're longing to be told, mm

Chorus:  (x2)  (end on F)
