[Verse 1]
A *
I can feel a new expression on my face
A E
I can feel a glowing sensation taking place
D E A F#m
I can hear the guitars playing lovely tu - nes
D C#m E A**
Every time that you, walk in the room
[Verse 2]
A *
I close my eyes for a second and pretend it's me you want
A E
Meanwhile I try to act so nonchalant
D E A F#m
I see a summer's night with a magic mo - on
D C#m E A*
Every time that you, walk in the room
[Bridge]
D C#m E
Baby, it's a dream come true
D C#m E
Walking right alongside of you
A F#m
Wish I could tell you how much I care
B E E7
But I only have the nerve to sta - re
[Verse 3]
A *
I can feel a something pounding in my brain
A E
Just any time that someone speaks your name
D E A F#m
Trumpets sound and I hear thunder bo - om
D C#m E A*
Every time that you, walk in the room
D C#m E A**
Every time that you, walk in the room
End by playing the riff twice (as first 2 bars of intro), ending on a held A note or chord.
