[Verse]
G              Am    Em
  All along it was a fever
  G          Am           Em
A cold sweat hot-headed believer
           G              Am        Em
I threw my hands in the air, said, "Show me something"
          G            Am     Em
He said, “If you dare, come a little closer”
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
C                     Am                  Em
Round and around and around and around we go
     C                       Am                   D
Ohhh now tell me now tell me now tell me now you know
 
 
[Chorus]
G                        Am
  Not really sure how to feel about it
Em                       C
Something in the way you move
 G                         Am
Makes me feel like I can't live without you
Em                  C
It takes me all the way
              G Am Em C
I want you to staaaaaaaaayy
 
 
[Verse 2]
G               Am   Em
  It's not much of a life you're living
     G            Am        Em
It's not just something you take, it's given
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
 
C                     Am                  Em
Round and around and around and around we go
     C                        Am                   D
Ohhh now tell me now, tell me now, tell me now you know
 
 
[Chorus]
 
G                        Am
  Not really sure how to feel about it
Em                       C
Something in the way you move
 G                         Am
Makes me feel like I can't live without you
Em                  C
It takes me all the way
              G Am Em C
I want you to staaaaaaaaayy
 
 
[Bridge]
 
C   Em                 Am
ooooohhhh the reason I hold on
C   Em                      Am
ooooohhhh cause I need this hole gone
Am
Funny you're the broken one
     C                        Em
But I'm the only one who needed saving
      Am
cause when you never seen the light  
     C                               D
It's hard to know which one of us is caving
 
 
[Chorus]
 
G                        Am
  Not really sure how to feel about it
Em                       C
Something in the way you move
G                          Am
Makes me feel like I can't live without you
Em                  C
It takes me all the way
              G Am Em C     G Am Em C
I want you to staaaaaaaaayy-aaaaaaaaaay
              G Am  Em  C
I want you to stay, ooh

everything is perfect apart from the prechorus, for the line 'Ohhh now tell me now tell me now tell me now you know' the ending chord should be a D not a G :)
