Gm                            F
Something's gotten hold of my heart,
           Eb          D7      Gm
Keeping my soul and my senses apart
                           F
Something's gotten into my life
             Eb             D7            Gm
Cutting it's way through my dreams like a knife
F          Eb      D7         Gm
Turning me up, and turning me down
F         Eb         D7        G
Making me smile, and making me frown


BRIDGE:
Chords:
Gm  355333    Bb7 686766    D7 x57575
F   133211    Eb  x68886    C7 x35353

Gm                     F
   In a world that was small, 
                  Bb7           Eb            D7         Gm
I once lived in a time that was peace with no trouble at all

                     F
But then you came my way
                   Gm             F              C7          F
And a feeling of unknown shook my heart, made me want you to stay,
C7        F           C7        Eb   D7
All of my nights, and all of my day- ays

D7
Yeah, I gotta tell you now...
 

VERSE2:
Gm                            F
Something's gotten hold of my hand,
            Eb        D7        Gm
Dragging my soul to a beautiful land
                               F
Yeah, something has invaded my night
            Eb           D7        Gm
Painting my sleep with a colour so bright

F            Eb        D7           Gm
Changing the grey, and changing the blue
F           Eb      D7          G
Scarlet for me, and scarlet for you
