[Opening]
[Em] [G]
[Em]Now as the summer fades, I let you slip [G]away

[Em]’Cause you keep me coming back for more [G](Coming back for more)
[Em]And I feel a little better than I did [G]before
If I [Em]never see your face again, I don’t [G]mind
‘Cause we [D]got much further than I [A]thought we’d get [Em]tonight

[verse 2]
[Em]Sometimes you move so well, it’s hard not to give [G]in
[Em]I’m lost, I can’t tell where you end and I [G]begin
[Em]It makes you burn to learn I’m with another [G]man
[Em]I wonder if he’s half the lover that I [G]am

[chorus]
[Em]Now you’ve gone somewhere else far away
I don’t [G]know if I will [Em]find you (Find you, find [G]you)
But you [Em]feel my breath on your neck
Can’t [G]believe I’m right [Em]behind you (Right behind [G]you)

[chorus]
[Em]’Cause you keep me coming back for [G]more (Coming back for more)
And I [Em]feel a little better than I did [G]before

‘Cause we [D]got much further than I [A]thought we’d get [Em]tonight

[Closing]
[Em]Baby, baby, please believe me, [Em]find it in your heart to reach me
Promise not to leave me [D]behind (Promise not to leave me behind)

[Em]Torture me by taking your [D]time (Talk to me, yeah, talk to me)

[chorus]
‘Cause you [Em]keep me coming back for [G]more
And I [Em]feel a little better than I did [G]before

(Talk to me, yeah, talk to me)
