[Verse]
        A#m    F#  C#
You are    my fire
       A#m     F# C#
The one    desire
       A#m     F#  C#
Believe   when I say
A#m         G#   C#
I want it that way

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


[Chorus]
         F#
Tell me why
                     G#     A#m
(Ain't nothin' but a heartache)
         F#
Tell me why
                    G#    A#m
(Ain't nothin' but a mistake)
          F#
(Tell me why)
               G#        C#
I never wanna hear you say
 A#m        G#    C#
(I want it that way)


[Verse]
     A#m    F# C#
Am I   your fire
        A#m    F# C#
Your one    desire

Yes I know, it's too late

But I want it that way

[Bridge]
A#m                        C#/G#
Now I can see that we're falling apart
          F#                  D#m    G#
From the way that it used to be, yeah
     A#m                  C#/G#
No matter the distance I want you to know
      F#                  G#
That deep down inside of me...

The one    desire

You are
             G#        C#     A#m      G#
You are, you are, you are  (I want it...)


[Chorus]
