Bridge:
 
Am                      Em 
Everybody wants to go fast  
                  Am 
But they can't compare  
                        Em 
I don't really want the rest 
                       Am 
Only you can take me there 
                             Em  
I don't even know what I'm saying, 
           C         D  
But I'm praying for you.

You make me crazy, you make me wild  
              G                           Bm 
Just like a baby, spin me 'round like a child  
       Am            C 
Your skin so golden brown  
      Am                C
