Tempo: 84  Time: 4/4 

Intro 
Eb Gm F Eb Gm Csus2 F Dm7 Eb 

 
       Bb 
It's 3 am  and I can't cool My skin's 
  F 
alight my head's afloat 
           Csus2 
I toss and turn and can't lie still 
                  Cm7         Eb 
This ache for you just climbs until 
 

 
          Bb 
There's a fever underneath my sheets 
  F 
A restless heat that never sleeps 
        Gm 
I press my hand against my chest 
    Cm7 
And feel the temperature won't rest 
 

 
   Bb 
No medicine can bring it down 
             F 
No cool of night, no silent town 
         Gm 
The only cure for what I feel 
        Eb 
Is you beside me, close and real 
 

 
     Bb                      F         Gm 
Burn up, got a fever with no name Burn up 
               Csus2   Dm     Eb 
and you're the only thing to blame 
      Bb 
Every hour that you're gone 
           F 
Just turns the heat to something more 
          Gm 
Delirious and coming undone 
         Eb   Bb 
Burning up, burning up 
 

 
      Bb 
The chills run down and rise again 
      F 
The tremor, one I can't defend 
         Gm         Csus2 
I shiver even in the heat 
                   Eb 
C+ht somewhere, love and sickness meet 
 

 
          Bb 
I whisper out your name at night 
               F 
Like something breaking through the light 
           Gm   Csus2 
And every second that you wait 
           Eb 
The fever climbs, I can't escape 
 

 
             Bb 
So come and break this fever spell 
             F 
The heat I know to a painful well 
               Gm 
Don't make me shiver on my own 
   Gm 
Just cool this fire and bring me home 
 

 
     Bb                       F        Gm 
Burn up, got a fever with no name Burn up, 
                              Eb 
and you're the only thing to blame 
      Bb 
Every hour that you're gone 
                F 
Just turns the heat to something more 
          Gm 
Delirious and coming undone 
        Eb             Bb   F  Gm Eb 
Burning up,    Burning up 
 

 
         Bb 
If this fever never leaves me 
      F 
If I burn for you for years 
        Gm 
I would take the heat forever 
          Eb 
I would suffer through the tears 
           Bb 
Cause the sickness that you give me 
         F 
Is the sweetest stake I know 
       Gm 
Don't cool me down yet 
               Eb                      Bb 
I would rather burn for you than sleep alone

Trembling and shaking all for you 
             F                 Gm 
There's no cure to make it through 
                    Eb
