Chords

C#/E# is exchangable with Fdim (really E#dim in this key) or C#7/E#. To me adding the 7th sounds way nicer but it's down to your preference. [Intro] |F#m C#/E# |F#m C#/E# |D |Bm7 | |F#m C#/E# |F#m C#/E# |F#m C#/E# F#m C#/E# (not in strict time at end) [Verse]
F#m   C#/E# F#m    C#/E#          F#m    C#/E#
There was a love affair in this building

            F#m     C#/E#
The kind of love affair

     D                 Bm7           F#m       C#/E#  F#m  C#/E#
That every respectable building must keep as a legend

F#m   C#/E#  F#m      C#/E#      F#m       C#/E#   F#m
   Slowly   festering through an innocent "By the way,

         C#/E#
have you heard?"

D                Bm7                       F#m    C#/E#  F#m C#/E#
He was perfect except for the fact that he was an engi- neer
[Bridge]
   F#m  C#7/G#  F#m/A   F#7/A#  Bm7add11
And mothers       pre - fer     doctors

    Cdim7  C#
And law  -   awyers
[Interlude] |F#m C#/E# |F#m C#/E# |F#m C#/E# |F#m C#/E# | |D |Bm7 |F#m C#/E# |F#m C#/E# | |F#m/C# |Cdim7 |C# |C# | [Verse]
F#m   C#/E#        F#m C#/E#
Yet despite this imperfection

      F#m    C#/E#         F#m       C#/E#
He was clean-looking and respectable-looking

           D            Bm7
And you'll never find a mother

              F#m        C#/E#  F#m  C#/E# 
Who doesn't appreciate a natural man

F#m   C#/E#    F#m    C#/E# F#m  C#/E#         F#m   C#/E#
   So he grew healthy aloe  vera plants by the window

D                    Bm7
Healthy teeth in his mouth

F#m      C#/E#      F#m C#/E#
Healthy hair on his head
[Bridge]
F#m  C#7/G# F#m/A  F#7/A# Bm7add11  Cdim7        C#
  He  grew  heal- thy     wavy brown hair on his head

    F#m C#7/G#          F#m/A  F#7/A#  Bm7add11
The kind, the kind that babies always  go for

     Cdim7          C#
With sticky little fingers
