[intro]
[verse]
I got (I got) shivers (shivers) When you touch my face,
I�ll make you hot get all you got,
I�ll make you wanna say, Jai Ho - Jai Ho
I got (I got) fever (fever) running like a fire,
For you I will go all the way,
I wanna take you higher (Jai Ho, Jai Ho)
I keep it steady 'cause steady is how I feel it.
This beat is heavy, so heavy, you're gonna feel it.

(Jai Ho)
You are the reason that I breathe,
(Jai Ho)
You are the reason that I still believe,
(Jai Ho)
You are my destiny,(my destiny)
Jai Oh! Oh-oh-oh-oh!

So come and dance with me,
Jai Ho!

Catch me, catch me, catch me, c�mon, catch me,

Anywhere in anyway,I'm never gonna let go.

***************
NB: The chords below are merely 'implied' (except for chorus and bridge passages).
Sometimes the song seems to change to the C#m on beat 3 and then sometimes on beat 4.
As the root remains on a pedal G# it's a 'feel' issue.
# I have voiced the changes for the marcato string passage here, but these changes are played over
the same underlying G#m to C#m changes. This can be felt 4 bears earlier when strings are tacet.
(* = C#m6 to G#m (quavers))
