(Verse)
(C)Met him at a party, accidentally brushed his body
On the (F)way to get a drink at the bar
I (C)couldn't wait till later, talking in the elevator
Then we're (F)kissing in the back of the car 
That (C)voice in my head says to slow down
But it (F)can't see the way you're looking at me right now
It (C)may not be next week, what I need
And (F)then again, maybe it might be 
 
(Chorus)
(C) Could be forever or we might break
(F) That's just the kind of risk that we take
(C) My head is yelling that I could get hurt
But I'm gonna (F)jump right in, (G)baby, with my heartfirst 
(C) I gotta have ya, gotta see if this works
(F) I gotta have ya, wake up in your t-shirt 
 
(Verse)
(NC)Who knows what'll happen, ain't that (C)always kinda magic
When you (F)don't know who's holding the cards
Could be a (C)wish I never knew ya or permanently tattoo ya
On-(F)ly the moon knows what's in the stars (What's in the stars) 
That (C)voice in my head says to slow down
But it (F)can't feel your hands on my hips right now
It (C)may not be next year, what I need
(F)Then again, maybe it might be

(Chorus)
(C) Could be forever or we might break
(F) That's just the kind of risk that we take
(C) My head is yelling that I could get hurt
But I'm gonna (F)jump right in, (G)baby, with my heartfirst 
 
(Post-Chorus)
(C) I gotta have ya, gotta see if this works
(I gotta have ya)
(F) I gotta have ya, wake up in your t-shirt
(C) I gotta have ya, diving in heartfirst (Heartfirst)
(F) I gotta have ya, ooh, I gotta have (Am)ya (G)

(Break)
And (G)I can't even stop myself (F)anymore 
(Ooh, I gotta have ya)
(G) Oh, we couldn't end the perfect (Em)night
(F)Outside my front (C)door

(Chorus)
(C) Could be forever or we might break
(F) That's just the kind of risk that we take
(C) My head is yelling that I could get hurt
But I'm gonna (F)jump right in, (G)baby, with my heartfirst

(Outro.)
(C) (I gotta have ya, gotta see if this works)
I gotta (F)have ya
 (I gotta have ya, wake up in your t-shirt)
Wake up in your (C)t-shirt, yeah 
(I gotta have ya, diving in heartfirst)
Diving in (F)heartfirst 
(I gotta have ya)
Yeah, I gotta (F)have ya - - - - -
