Charlie McDonnell - Chemical Love

         A   
From the moment that I saw you    
         E6    
Yeah, it had to be love    
        G    
Girl, I can't help but adore you    
           Dmaj7    
Knew you'd fit me like a glove    
       A    
What a life we have in store    
           E6    
To spend together and stuff    
         G    
You're a beauty; what a cutie    
       Dmaj7    
It's undoubtably -sic- love    
                 A   E6  G  Dmaj7  A  E6  G  Dmaj7    
It's undoubtably love    
     
     
   A                          E6    
My legs are going weak and my heart's beating fast    
    G                                      Dmaj7    
I'm knowing I should speak to her, but I'm not sure what to ask    
  A                                   E6    
I feel like my technique might not be up to the task    
              G                                   Dmaj7    
But she's the love that I do seek and, hey, she's got a nice ass    
     
     
             Dm                                  A    
And when she looks at me, I hope she'll feel the same    
           Dm                                 F    
Due to the hormone that's released inside her brain    
     
     
    A  C#7  F#m  B7  Dmaj7  E7  A    
Dopamine,            do-o-o-o-o-pamine    
     
     
         A           E6        D     F    
It's a catecholamine neurotransmitter    
      A                E6              D     F    
Which means it sends a message in your brain    
   A                 E6                     D             F    
To tell you that you think that girl you're looking at is fitter    
        A                   E6        D    F    
To make offspring with than any other dame    
             A                       E6    
And when she looks at me, yes, I can feel it beating    
      G                           Dmaj7    
I can tell from the shortness of my breath    
        A                       E6    
That my body has reacted to our wandering eyes meeting    
        G                            Dmaj7    
And the hormone's comparable to meth    
     
     
       Dm                                 A    
But methamphetamine's a drug of which I'm clean    
         Dm                        F    
Though I can't say the same of dopamine    
     
     
    A  C#7  F#m  B7  Dmaj7  E7  A    
Dopamine,            do-o-o-o-o-pamine    
     
     
    A                               E6    
But dopamine's just one half of the tale    
    G                             Dmaj7    
The chemical that gets you in the mood    
         A                                 E6    
There's another guy that you'll need to prevail    
       G                               D   F    
If you want to see your partner in the nude    
     
     
G                           F    
Dopamine is useless without norepinephrine    
G                          F    
Focusing your efforts on one girl    
G                                    F    
Telling you that she's the one who's making your head spin    
G                            F    
If this were an oyster, then she'd be the pearl    
     
     
         A                       E6  G                      Dmaj7    
And so I lock eyes with this girl,   ready for our love to unfurl    
A              E6                        G                        F    
I just want to curl up to her, but she's looking at me like she's ready to hurl    
  Dm                                   A    
I guess this lady doesn't feel the same    
  Dm                                A    
I thought there was a spark, but it didn't light the flame    
    Dm                               A    
But I still have the urge to ask her name    
               Dm                           F    
But that's not me, that's the hormone in my brain    
     
     
    A  E6  D  F  A  E6  D  F  A  E6  D  F  A  E6  D  F    
Dopamine,      dopamine,    dopamine,    dopamine    
                A  E6  D   F   A   E6   D  F    
And don't forget norepinephrine, norepinephrine    
A  E6     D     F      A  E6   D  F    A  E6 F#m  B7    Dmaj7 E7  A    
Dopamine's best friend, norepinephrine, norepinephrine, norepinephrine    
     
     
         A                              E6    
From the moment that I saw her, yeah, I knew it was love    
         G                                 Dmaj7    
Couldn't help but adore her; thought she'd fit me like a glove    
       A                                       E6    
But it turned out that my thoughts were just impulses not enough    
            G                                Dmaj7    
To get this beauty's pretty booty; it's just chemical love    
                   A    
It's just chemical love
