        Gm    D#  A#
You are    my fire
       Gm     D# A#
The one    desire
       Gm     D#  A#
Believe   when I say
Gm         F   A#
I want it that way

      Gm     D#   A#      Gm
But we   are two worlds apart
       D#    A#        Gm
Can't reach to your heart
      D#   A#
When you say
     Gm        F    A#
That I want it that way

Tell me why
                     F     Gm

(Ain't nothin' but a mistake)

(Tell me why)
               F        A#
I never wanna hear you say

(I want it that way)


[Verse]

Am I   your fire
        Gm    D# A#
Your one    desire

But I want it that way

Now I can see that we're falling apart
          D#                  Cm    F
From the way that it used to be, yeah
     Gm                  A#/F
No matter the distance I want you to know
      D#                  F

You are, you are, you are  (I want it...)

F                    G  Am
Ain't nothin' but a heartache
F                    G Am
Ain't nothin' but a mistake
