Verse 1:
       A          Dsus2           A           Dsus2
It's a chemical attraction I just can't slide by
A            Dsus2        G      Dsus2
Every time I look into my baby's eyes
G      Dsus2 G      Dsus2      A   Dsus2   A   Dsus2
I'm helpless, so helpless, so I surrender.

There's a visual attraction and she's branded my soul
A            Dsus2    G          Dsus2
Simply can't deny it, she has control
G      Dsus2 G      Dsus2      A   Dsus2   A   Dsus2
I'm helpless, so helpless, so I remember.

She won't let me breakaway

        A          Dsus2        A        Dsus2
We were working it though, baby we had a groove
A             Dsus2          G        Dsus2
Movin' to the moment when we make our move
G       Dsus2        G      Dsus2
But it happened
something happened
A               Dsus2   Dsus2
And I'm not lying 'bout the pain.


Chorus:
                 A     Dsus2  A  Dsus2

She won't let me breakaway

I said break away, yeah

I'm dealing with a feeling deeper than love
G      Dsus2 G      Dsus2      A   Dsus2   Dsus2
But I'm helpless, so helpless, but I remember.
