[Verse 1]
Bmaj7 C#6
Another fine rose eve and a bottle of Clicquot
Bmaj7 C#6
So I call you around 3 and I pick you up alone
Bmaj7 C#6
And we're talking 'bout things we really want to be
Bmaj7 C#6
Said I need a little time but I'm glad you're here with me
[Chorus]
Bmaj7
But that was not the first thing you said
C#6
And it will not be the last
Bmaj7
Can I just remind you that I
C#6
Never really asked
Bmaj7 C#6
Oooh oooh
Bmaj7 C#6
Oooh oooh

Summer's almost here it gets hotter everyday
C#7 Cmaj7
And I still can't find the words to say
Bmaj7 A#m7
My affliction is the fear of leaving you alone
D#7#9
I think I have the chance
Bmaj7 F#maj7 C#7 Cmaj7
But now we're talking about things you really want to be
Bmaj7 F#maj7 C#7
So I'm taking my time and I'm glad you're here with me
[Chorus]
Bmaj7
But that was not the first thing you said
C#6
And it will not be the last
Bmaj7
Can I just remind you that I
C#6
Never really asked
Bmaj7
No that was not the first thing you said
C#6
And it will not be the last
Bmaj7
Can I just remind you that I
C#6
Never really asked
Bmaj7 C#6
Oooh oooh
Bmaj7 C#6
Oooh oooh
