I used the words provided by Ken Jongsma on Cowpie, so
thanks to him for figuring them out.

Play it slow...listen to the song for timings.  And
sing high if you can. :)

Intro  B  E  B F# B


B                    E
The face of an angel, pretty eyes that shine
B                    F#
I lie awake at night wishing you were mine
B                        E
I'm standing here holding the biggest heartache in
town
G#m           F#     B
Whenever you come around

       E                        B
I get weak in the knees, and I lose my breath
     F#
Oh I try to speak but the words won't come
       B
I'm so scared to death
             G#m  
And when you smile that smile 
                G#m  F#  E
The world turns upside down
F#                  B
Whenever you come around

B                  E
I feel so helpless, I feel just like a kid
B                                  F#
What is it about you that makes me keep my feelings
hid
B                       E
I wish I could tell you, but the words can't be found
G#m            F#    B
Whenever you come around

       E                        B
I get weak in the knees, and I lose my breath
     F#
Oh I try to speak but the words won't come
       B
I'm so scared to death
             G#m  
And when you smile that smile 
                G#m  F#  E
The world turns upside down
F#                  B
Whenever you come around

       B
I'm so scared to death
             G#m  
And when you smile that smile 
                G#m  F#  E
The world turns upside down
F#                  B
Whenever you come around
              G#m
And when you smile that smile
                G#m F#   E
The world turns upside down

Whenever you come around
