It was a lot of work, as some of the chords in the bridges were quite confusing,
Intro:
EbMaj7 Dm7 Cm7 F Bb
Even though I'm in EbMaj7loveDm7  
Cm7Sometimes I gFet so aBbfraid
I'll say something EbMaj7so wrongDm7  
Cm7Just to have FsomethBbing to say
I know the moment isn't FmrightGm  G7  
To Cm7tell the girl a Bbcomical G#line
Ab/GTo keep the conversation FmlighGmtG7  
I gCm7uess I'm just frBbightened out of my Fmind
But if that's how I EbMaj7feelDm7  
Then it's the Cm7best feeling FI've evBben known
It's undeniably EbMaj7realDm7  
Cm7Leave a tender Fmoment aloBbne
Yes I know I'm in lEbMaj7oveDm7  
But juCm7st when I oFught to Bbrelax
I put my foot in my EbMaj7mouthDm7
