[Eb]
[Bb] It's a [Eb] chemical attraction [Bb] I just can't [Eb] slide by
[Bb] Every [Eb] time I look [Ab] into my [Eb] baby's eyes I'm helpless
So helpless, so I surrender
[Bb] [Eb]
There's a visual attraction and she's bad with my soul
Simply can't deny it, she has control
I'm helpless, so helpless
So I remember
[Bb] She won't let me break away
[Eb] She won't let me break away
I said I'll break away
Oh [Ebm] yeah
We [Eb]
were working it through
[Bb] Baby we [Eb] had a groove
[Bb] Moving [Eb] to the moment [Ab] when we [Eb] made our move
[Ab] But it [Eb] happened, [Ab] something [Eb] happened
[Bb] And I'm not lying [Eb] about the [Bb] pain
She won't let me break away
[Eb] She won't [Bb] let me break [Ebm] away
[Bb] I [Eb]
[Ab] said I'll break [Eb] away
[Bb] Oh yeah
[Ebm] [Bb] I [Eb]
[F] [Db] [F]

[Bbm] [Eb] [Bb] [Eb]
[Bbm] [Eb] [Bb] [Eb]
[F] [Bb] want the answer, I want the stuff
I'm [Eb] feeling, disappearing
I'm feeling, deeper in love
I'm helpless, so helpless
But I remember
She keeps saying break away
Something's saying break away
Telling me to snake away
She keeps on saying break away
