C# C#maj7/G# Meine Damen und Herren, Mesdames et Messieurs C#6 C#maj7/G# C# A#7 Ladies *giggle* and Gentlemen. D#m7 D#m7/A# D#m7 D#m7/A# D#m7 Is it a crime to fall in love? Can we ever tell where the heart truly leads us? D#m7/A# D#m7 G#7 All we are asking is ein bisschen Verständnis - a little understanding. C# N.C. Why can't the world "Leben und Leben lassen" — "Live and Let live"?
