I
[F#] could cry [F#m]
[F#] salty tears, [D#] where have I

Little [Dm] while, [D] [E]
tell me [F#] [G#] now, [C#m] how long has [A] this [F#] been going on?
[B] [A#]
[F#] There were [A] chills

Listen [B] sweet, [E]
I [F#] repeat, [G#] [C#m] how long has [Dm] this [F#] been [B] going on?
[E]
Oh, I [G#m] feel that I [Em] could melt, [E]
into [G] heaven [E] I'm [D#m] hurled.
I [G#] know [A#] [D#m] how [F#m] Columbus [D]

Kiss me [F#] twice, [G#]
then [F#m] once [A] [F#] more, [Gm] that [F#m] makes thrice, [E]
let's make [Em] it four.
[D#]
What [D] a break, [C#m]
for [F#] heaven's [G#] sake, [C#m] how long has this [C#] been [C#m] going
[B] [F#m] on?
