[Fmaj7]Chances are I'll step out of line, but who k[Cadd9]nows?
[Cadd9]Lately, you've set up in my mind
D9*
Yeah, girl, you, and I like that
[Fm7] [Cadd9]


Cadd9 D9*
Lately, I've been thinking that perhaps I am a coward
[Fmaj7]Hiding in a disguise of an [Cadd9]ever-giving flower
Cadd9 D9*
Incompetent steward of all of that sweet, sweet power
[Fm7] [Cadd9]


Cadd9 D9*
Yesterday was feeling so good, now it's gone
I'd [Fmaj7]feel like that always if I could, is that w[Cadd9]rong?
[Cadd9]Tell me 'bout the city you're from
D9*
Is it hot? Does it snow there?
[Fm7] [Cadd9]


Cadd9 D9*
Lately, I've been thinking 'bout my precarious future
[Fmaj7]Will you be there with me by my s[Cadd9]ide, my girl, my shooter?
Cadd9 D9*
Who's to say who calculates? Not me, I'm no computer
[Dbmaj7] [Cadd9]


Is it[C] a crime to be un[Cmaj7]sure?
In time, we'll [C7]find if it's sus[Fmaj7]tainable
You're [Fm7]pure, you're kind, ma[Em7]ture, di[Am7]vine
D9* Dbmaj7
You might be too good for me, unattainable


Cadd9 D9* Fmaj7 Cadd9
Cadd9 D9* Fm7 Cadd9


Cadd9 D9*
Maybe we'll get married one day, but who knows?
[Fmaj7]Think I'll take that thought to the grave, but who k[Cadd9]nows?
[Cadd9]I know that I'll love you always
D9*
Yeah girl you, and I'd like that
[Fm7] [Cadd9]
