[Riff 2] [Verse 1]

Bm
Don’t just sit there and wait around

A*
Can’t you see that I’m ready now

E7                               Bm
I never meant to let you down,  oh

Bm
I want your love so violently

A*
To feel this pleasure that burns in me

E7
Darling if you please

Bm
Set me free

[Chorus]

           A      E7                  Bm
And if the world,    the world stops turning

    A    E7            Bm
Our love will keep on burning

[Riff 2] [Verse 2]

Bm
I need to feel your breath again

A*
The way it danced across my skin

E7                                Bm
And shook my body deep within, oh

Bm
After all this time

                  A
You’re there suspended in my mind

         E7
And I’m starving for your love

          Bm
So set me free tonight

[Chorus]

           A      E7                  Bm
And if the world,    the world stops turning

    A    E7            Bm
Our love will keep on burning
