Let him touch you and watch what hap - pens.

Bridge:

F#                            F#m7     B7
Cold, no I won't believe your heart is cold

       E        E6                   Em7     A7
Maybe just a - fraid to be broken again

And what magic you'll see



(Instrumental Interlude - Bridge)


DM7     D6                      E7/9
Let someone with a deep love to give

Give that deep love to you,

          A9           D     D6
And what magic you'll see.



Coda:

 D  Cm7-5     Bbm7-5     D      D6
Let some - one give his heart,

      Cm7-5   Bbm7-5      D      D6
Some - one who cares like me,

      Cm7-5       Bbm7-5         D      D6
Some - one--- who cares---- like me.


The chord names in the verse appear confusing, but the progression is very simple to play. Letting the F# ring on the 2nd fret of the 6th string continues through all of it. The DM7 and D6 both feature it; then keep it fretted for the E7-9 played as 020102; continue keeping it fretted for the weird-looking A6/7/9 which is played 002002, and for the D9sus4 which is played as 002032.
