[Intro]
Cmaj7 Fmaj7
Cmaj7 Fmaj7
[Verse 1]
Cmaj7 Fmaj7
I watch you breathe, I cannot sleep
Cmaj7 Fmaj7
I touch your hair, I kiss your skin
Cmaj7 Fmaj7 Cmaj7 Fmaj7
And hope the morning sun won't wake you too soon
Cmaj7 Fmaj7
For when you wake and look at me
Cmaj7 Fmaj7
You never know, you just might see
Cmaj7 Fmaj7 Cmaj7 Fmaj7
Another boy who crept into your room
[Pre-chorus]
Cmaj7 Fmaj7
Take your time, that's what you told me
Cmaj7 Fmaj7
Take your time
Cmaj7 Fmaj7 Cmaj7
But I fell head first and I just don't know what to do
[Chorus]
Fmaj7 Em7 Cmaj7
Nothing looks the same in the light
Fmaj7/A
Only a fool like me would take to heart
Am7 Cmaj7 Dm7 Em7 Fmaj7
The things you said you meant last night
Fmaj7 Em7 Cmaj7
Nothing looks the same in the light
Fmaj7/A Am7 Cmaj7
I'll keep my feet firm on the ground
Fmaj7 Em7 Cmaj7
Nothing looks the same in the light
Fmaj7/A
There's a danger in a stranger
Am7 Cmaj7 Dm7 Em7
With a warm hand and then a kiss so right
Fmaj7 Em7 Cmaj7
Nothing looks the same in the light
Fmaj7/A Cmaj7
It's been a pleasure, see you around
[Interlude]

[Verse 2]
Cmaj7 Fmaj7
I watch the sun upon the sheets
Cmaj7 Fmaj7
I hear a car out on the street
Cmaj7 Fmaj7 Cmaj7 Fmaj7
And gently pull you close, it's over too soon
Cmaj7 Fmaj7
What can I do but wait and see
Cmaj7 Fmaj7
Hold on to you, please stay with me
Cmaj7 Fmaj7 Cmaj7 Fmaj7
Where am I now, your love, or a fool
[Pre-chorus]
Cmaj7 Fmaj7
Please be kind
Cmaj7 Fmaj7
Don't change your mind
Cmaj7 Fmaj7 Cmaj7
Because you're the first and I want to stay here with you
[Chorus]
Fmaj7 Em7 Cmaj7
Nothing looks the same in the light
Fmaj7/A
Only a fool like me would take to heart
Am7 Cmaj7 Dm7 Em7 Fmaj7
The things you said you meant last night
Fmaj7 Em7 Cmaj7
Nothing looks the same in the light
Fmaj7/A Am7 Cmaj7
I'll keep my feet firm on the ground
Fmaj7 Em7 Cmaj7
Nothing looks the same in the light
Fmaj7/A
There's a danger in a stranger
Am7 Cmaj7 Dm7 Em7
With a warm hand and then a kiss so right
Fmaj7 Em7 Cmaj7
Nothing looks the same in the light
Fmaj7/A Cmaj7
It's been a pleasure, see you around
[Interlude]

Please be kind

Don't change your mind
Cmaj7 Fmaj7 Cmaj7 Fmaj7
Because you're the first and I want to stay here with you
