----------------------------------------------- This song is best played fingerstyle, imitating the Fender Rhodes on the track. [Intro] Em9 A7#5 Dmaj7 C#m7 Dmaj7 F#7#5 Bm7 E [Verse]
Amaj7                A6
If I keep on talking now

Amaj7            Bm7     E    F#m7
I'd only start repeating myself

              C#m9   F#7#5
And all I can say is

  Bm7           F#7#5
I love you, I love you

  Bm7              E
I love you, I love you
[Verse]
Amaj7                A6
If I slip and tip my hat

Amaj7            Bm7     E    F#m7
I'm certain to scare you away

    Dmaj7        C#m9  F#7#5
And what would I say?

       Bm7            F#7#5
I'd be hurtin' I'm certain
[Refrain]
Em9    A7#5             Dmaj7
I'd be uncool to let you know

                C#m7
That you're the one

  Dmaj7               F#7#5
A fool who jumped the gun

Em9              A7#5             Dmaj7
'Cause I've been advised by other guys

             C#m7
You've left behind

        Dmaj7                F#7#5 Bm7 E7
Your goodbyes are somewhat unrefined
[Verse]
         Amaj7             A6
But if I play my role just right

     Amaj7              Bm7  E   F#m7  E
Then tonight could be my lucky night

    Dmaj7        C#m9 F#7#5
And you could be mine

     Bm7           Gmaj7
If I present it to you

       G#m7              C#7
With a flower in the moonlight

F#maj7    Bmaj7
Shiny and new

Em9                     A7#5      Dmaj7
Where you couldn't say no tonight

               C#m7        G#m/C# F#7#5
If I keep my heart out of sight
[Solo] Em9 A7#5 Dmaj7 C#m7 Dmaj7 F#7#5 Em9 A7#5 Dmaj7 C#m7 Dmaj7 F#7#5 [Verse]
         Amaj7             A6
If I play my role just right

     Amaj7              Bm7  E   F#m7  E
Then tonight could be my lucky night

    Dmaj7        C#m9 F#7#5
And you could be mine

     Bm7           Gmaj7
If I present it to you

       G#m7              C#7
With a flower in the moonlight

F#maj7    Bmaj7
All shiny and new

Em9                     A7#5     Dmaj7
Where you couldn't say no tonight

               C#m7       F#7
If I keep my heart out of sight
