Chords

[Verse 1]
          F#m      E
It's the crack of noon

    A          Dmaj7          Bm    C#m7
And I sit here watching you sleeping

   F#m  E         A       Dmaj7         Bm   C#
I only wish that I could remember your name

    F#                        E         D
But I know it's written on a matchbook somewhere

    F#                        E         D
So maybe I'll find it, and maybe you'll care

    F#                        E         D
Or maybe you'll fix me with one of those stares

    D        E
And put up a fight
[Chorus]
    A                E/A       A
So when you awake I admit I'm relieved

       F#m                      E/D   D
As you flash me a smile like a diamond

     A                E/A       A
And just for a moment I almost believe

   D             E        D   E   D   E
In love at first light
[Verse 2]
F#m      E   A          Dmaj7       Bm  C#m7
I propose a breakfast of coffee and aspirin

F#m  E         A        Dmaj7      Bm   C#
You laugh, suggesting a raw egg or two

    F#                 E         D
But oh was it ever so good being bad

       F#                    E         D
Like a couple of vampires, deliciously mad

       F#                           E         D
Saying this is the best blood that we've ever had

      D             E
So we drank it all night
[Chorus]
     A                 E/A          A
And if we untangle the webs that we weave

     F#m                         E/D   D
Then maybe there's room for more laughter

        A                   E/A      A
'Cause just for a moment I almost believe

    D             E       D   E   D   E
In love at first light
[Interlude] F G C Fmaj7 Dm Em7 Ab Bb Eb Abmaj7 F Esus4 E [Verse 3]
F#m      E
Feeling cold

 A        Dmaj7         Bm  C#m7
You put a robe round my shoulders

F#m       E           A              Dmaj7         Bm   C#
Smile and pull one of your favourite books from my shelf

      F#                    E           D
Let's open the curtains and let out the dark

           F#                      E               D
And if the sun doesn't melt us and there's still a spark

       F#                      E           D
And we do something human like walk in the park

    D           E
The spark could ignite
[Chorus]
   A                        E/A     A
So maybe I'm moonstruck, or maybe naive

      F#m                      E/D   D
But I know there's a God and a Devil

   A                 E/A        A
So maybe I'm crazy enough to believe

    D             E       D   E
In love at first light
[Outro]
D   E
Repeat and fade
