Allergic to Nuts

I'm fortunate not to have any (known) food allergies (for now), but I have friends with serious nut allergies — this one's for you.

ttto: "Addicted to Love" by Robert Palmer
 
/ A - / G - / D - / A - /
 
Your hands itch, your face is hot
You're breaking out in red spots
Your heart sweats, your body shakes
Just one bite is all it takes
 
You ask yourself, what did I eat?
There's no doubt, it's no treat
Your throat is tight, you can't breathe
Just one bite is all you need
 
/ F#m D A - / F#m D / D! /
 
Whoa, you like to think that you're immune to the stuff, oh yeah
You used to love the taste, now there's no ifs, ands, or buts
You know you're gonna have to face it, you're allergic to nuts
