Chords

*Note* This is what I heard, then played along with a live version, and then played with the recorded version, being in perfect harmony both times. I still don't know how this is, but it's a step up from all the others, which are just plain WRONG! *Note* when played live, the song starts with an intro of strums in a pattern like this:

A A - E E E - F#m F#m F#m - D D D - A A A which then leads into the intro drum fill and 
song starts as usual

Intro: A E F#m D A E D Verse:

A                          E
Oh I love (Oh I love) Oh I love

                  F#m
What you do to my head

                   D
When you pull me upstairs

                   A
And you push me to bed.

                E
I love what you do to my head.

       D
It’s a mess up there

Repeat for second verse, bridge, and third and fourth verses Chorus:

           G
You’re the only one I cry for

                      D
The only one I try to please.

           G
You’re the only one I sigh for

                      D
The only one I die to squeeze.

            C
And it gets better everyday,

                            D
I play with you it’s such a scream.

             C
Yeah it gets better everyday, I say

                 D
With you it’s so extreme.

             C
Yeah it gets wetter everyday, I stay

                     D
With you it’s like a dream.

repeat verse three times repeat chorus

A                          E
Oh I love, oh i love, oh I love

What you do to me. *Note* when played live, the E chord is replaced with repetive down strokes on all open The line "Oh I love" is repeated several times in time with the strokes, each time up into more of a shout, until the line "what you do to me", which is simply spoken.
