This song was written by Robert Palmer.
A fairly easy song to get going.
The trick is in the syncopated rhythm of the
guitar / bass / drums combo - ba-bum-bum-bum-pause-bum.
In the verses & choruses SLIDE up (D up to E, etc)
to the chord at the start of each bar.
[Intro]
D / E D / E G / A A / B
(This is also the general rhythm of the verses)
[Verse 1] (* and so on for the verse and chorus)
D / E D / E G / A G / A *
How can it be permissable?
E A
She compromise my principles! yeah-yeah
E A
That kind of love is mythical.
E A
She's anything but typical.
[Bridge 1]
B B
She's a craze! You ought to know it! She's a powerful force!
A G
You're obliged to conform when there's no other course!
B G
She used to look good to me but now I find her -
E A E A
Simply irresistible. Simply irresistible.
E A E A
Simply irresistible. Simply irresistible.
[Verse 2]
E A E A
Her loving is so powerful! It's simply unavoidable! mmm-oh-oh oh
E A E A
The trend is irreversable! The woman is invincible!
[Bridge 2]
B B
She's a natural law and she leaves me in awe!
A G
She deserves the applause! I surrender because -
B G
She used to look good to me but now I find her -
E A E A
Simply irresistible. Simply irresistible.
[Chorus 1]
E A
Simply irresistible!
(She's so fine there's no telling where the money went!)
E A
Simply irresistible!
(She's so fine, there's no other way to go!)
(Drum beat only but RP chants out the words in these chords - I think)
B A
She's unavoidable, my back's against the wall!
B A
She gives me feelings I never had before!
B A
I'm breaking promises! She's breaking every law!
B A G
She used to look good to me but now I find her -
[Chorus 2]
E A
Simply irresistible!
(She's so fine there's no telling where the money went!)
E A
Simply irresistible!
(She's all mine, there's no other way to go!)
[Guitar Break]
G F G F G F D# C# B
[Verse 3]
E A E A
Her methods are inscrutable! The proof is irrefutable! mmm-oh-oh-oh
E A E A
She's so completely kissable! Our lives are indivisible! oh yeah
[Bridge 1]
B B
She's a craze! You ought to know it! She's a powerful force!
A G
You're obliged to conform when there's no other course!
B G
Well she used to look good to me but now I find her -
[Ending Chorus] (x2)

Nice overall. I'd make the following changes:
1. INTRO:
FROM: D/E...D/E...G/A...G/A...
TO: D/E...D/E...G/A...A/B...
2. BRIDGE:
FROM: "She's a craze! You ought to know it!"
TO: "She's a craze you'd endorse."
