Verse 1:
E                           A A7 E
Called my doctor on the telephone
E               A   A7     E
Help me Doctor, somethin’s wrong
E                              A A7 E
I can't shake it it’s gone too far
E                           A   A7   E
He said, “Tell me what your symptoms are.”

Chorus:
            A                       E
I said, “My hands are sweaty and my knees are weak
B7               E
I can't eat, and I can't sleep
     A               E       A A7
It’s turnin’ me every way but loose.”
                    E                                A A7 E
He (they) said, “It sounds like love’s got a hold on you
E                     A    A7 E
No doubt love’s got a hold on you.”

Verse 2: (Same as the first)

I told my buddies I was settlin’ down
No more of this runnin’ 
‘round
They looked at me like I was a fool
And said, ”Boy, tell us what’s wrong with you.” 

Chorus:

Bridge:
  B7                     E
I toss and turn 
‘til the mornin’ light
B7                         E
Holdin’ my pillow, hangin’ on for life
B7                  E     A A7
There ain't nothin’ I can do
               E                                A A7 E
They said, “It sounds like love’s got a hold on you
E                     A    A7 E
No doubt love’s got a hold on you.”
