[A7]I’ve got you [Em7]under my [A7]skin
[A7]I’ve got you [Em7]deep in the [A7]heart of me,
So [Bm7]deep in my heart [E7]that you’re nearly a [A]part of me [A7]
[F#m]I’ve [Bm7]got you [E7]under my [A]skin. [A7]


[A7]I’ve [Em7]tried so [A7]not to give in [Amaj7]
I [Am7]said to my[Dm7]self, “this af[A7]fair never can go so [A]well.”
But [Gm7]why should I try to re[F#m]sist, when darling I [F]know so [Bm]well
I’ve [Bm7]got you [E7]under my [A]skin.


I’d [A7]sacrifice anything, [E7]come what might,
For the [A]sake of having you [D7]near,
In spite of the [G]warning voice that [Dm]comes in the night
That repeats and re[C7]peats in my [Bm7]ear,


“[E7]Don’t you [F#m]know, little [Bm7]fool, [E7]you never can [A]win? [Am]
[Am]Use your men[E7]tality [Bm7]wake up to [A]reality.” [Em7] [A]
But each [D]time I do, just the [Dm]thought of you
[Dm7]Makes me [A7]stop before I be[F#m]gin


‘Cause I’ve [Bm7]got you [Em7]under my [A]skin,
I’ve [Bm7]got you [Em7]under my [A]skin.
