Verse  1
E                              Amaj7           Ab - Amaj7(V) - Ab7  
Here we are alone in this old smokin' room again
             C#m7       F#7                     A
If your highness is your pleasure it's alright
                 E                                                 
Cause there's an extra added goodness
      Amaj7              Ab - Amaj7(V) - Ab7                   
In my heart for you tonight
           C#m7        F#7                     
If there's any such a thing as God
      A                E
He must be here tonight

Pre Chorus
E  
Ain't sayin' I'm right
                  Amaj7(V)
Ain't sayin' I'm wrong
                     E                      Amaj7(V)   
Ain't sayin' there's any such a thing as short or long
Amaj7(V)                    Amaj7(XII)  Abm7(XI)  
It seems you been here many times before
Amaj7(V)              Amaj7(XII)  Abm7(XI)  
It's too beautiful but true
        C#m7  Abm7(XI)  C#m7  F#7
And I'm glad I got the chance tonight
A                      E
To share my now with you

Chorus
Emaj7  A
Emaj7  A

Verse2
I used to be locked in a closet and I couldn't find the key
Used to be you'd look my way but not see me
But it's happiness to know that from yourself you cannot hide
And that here's where I am and it's you that's by my side

Pre Chorus
Ain't sayin' I'm right
Ain't sayin' I'm wrong
Ain't sayin' there's any such a thing as short or long
It seems you been here many times before
It's too beautiful but true
And I'm glad I got the chance tonight
A                               A
To share my now, share my now
A                               A
Oh baby baby ?Oh yeah

Chorus

Emaj7 

A
So glad I gotcha spend some time
                                  Emaj7 
Spend some time glad I gotcha baby (repeat)
A
So glad I gotcha share my life
                                  Emaj7 
Share my life glad I gotcha baby (repeat)
