Intro: F

F                         C
Without a warning you're outta control
F                         Bb
The ground shakes and the oceans roll
F                                       C
This is the big one there's nowhere to run
F                    C
On the Richter scale of romance
F                       Bb
You hit twelve and you don't stand a chance
F                  C               F
This is the big one I'm fallin in love

Chorus:
F
Now it's beat, beat, beat
            Bb
My heart's sending out a message
C                            F
Please, please, please don't save me tonight
           Bb
S.O.S. in this situation means
G            C
She's outta sight
F               C
No need to panic I tell myself
       F                           Bb
But I never felt this feeling with anybody else, so
F                  C               F           C
This is the big one, I'm fallin in love.....oh yeah
