Key: F#m
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
