Story Behind The Song

This song title started out as a country song, and we quickly realized that it had been done before, things like it. We realized that a different twist would be to make it about God, He is the one who is irresistible.

Song Description

God pursues us like a lover, He comes after us and is Irresistible.

Capo up 2

Intro - Em C G D
Verse 1:
Em C G D Em C G D
I'm walking down the street and I can feel a presence
Em C G D Em C G D
I look around to see who might be standing close to me but no one's there
Em C G D Em C G D
It shivers up my spine this tingling of emotion
Em C G D Am C
Your Spirit's creeping into me and there's no getting free, it's breaking me wide open

Chorus:
Em C G D Em C G D
I'M HAUNTED, I CAN'T HELP BUT TO BE DRAWN IN
Em C G D
TO YOUR MYSTERY, YOUR MAGIC, YOUR BRILLIANCE
Em D/G
I TRY TO FIND A REASON, BUT ALL I GET IS A FEELING
Am/F# C
I SHOULD LET GO AND LET YOUR LOVE IN
Am D Em C G D
YOU LEAVE ME NO DECISION, YOU'RE IRRESISTIBLE

Verse 2:
Em C G D Em C G D
I've tried to stay away, surrender to the shadows
Em C G D Em C G D
Where nothing matters, nothing grabs you, life's a battle so you disappear
Em C G D Em C G D
But, Lord, you keep your eyes on me and when my demons come to dog me
Em C G D Am C
With a slow seductive kiss I can't resist you fill me with this longing

Chorus

Bridge:
C C
You're the touch I can't forget, the song that's in my head
Am G D
Every day and night I don't know why
