[Intro]
A Gmaj7 F D#Maj7
Dmaj7
If I were you
Bm7 Asus4 Amaj7 F#m7
I’d look the situation over
Em7 A7 D C#m7
Wasn't just by accident
Bm7 Dmaj7 Amaj7
Our paths were meant to cross eventually
Em7 A7 Dmaj7 Dm7
You said you’ve lost each time you tried to give
G7 C#m F#7
Well I don't mean to tell you how to live
D D C#m7 Bm7
But if I were you
Amaj7
I'd fall in love with me
Em7 A7 Dmaj7
Don't get me wrong
Bm7 Asus4 E7 Amaj7
I don't pretend to know the future
F#m7 Em7 A7 D C#m7
If you feel it half as much
Bm7 Esus4 Amaj7
As I do when your body touches me
Em7 A7 Bm7 Dm7 Em7
Oooh, ooh, You must know it's worth at least a try
C#m7 F#7
So please don't let the good life pass you by
D D C#m7 Bm7
Girl, if I were you
Asus4 A
I'd fall in love with me
Em7 A7 Dmaj7
And if you were me
Am Em7 F#m7 Amaj7
You'd feel a pounding deep inside you growing stronger
Em7 A7 D C#7
And through these eyes
F#m7 B7
You’ll see there isn't any reason
E
To wait
Am E7
Any longer
A7 Dmaj7
So take my advice
Bm7 Asus4 Em7 Amaj7 F#m7 Em7
And all the love I have to give you
A7 Dmaj7 C#m7
Odds are this time you just can't miss
Bm7 Asus4 Amaj7
What happened in the past is history
Em7 A7 Dmaj7
Ooohh, what's going on right now
Dm7
Can't be denied
G7 C#m7 F#7
And I only want to help you to decide
D D-C#m7-Bm7
Girl, if I were you
Amaj7
I'd fall in love with me
Em7 A7 Dmaj7 D C#m7 Bm7
Uh uh uh Yeah, if I were you
Amaj7
I'd fall in love with me
[Outro]
A Gmaj7 Fmaj7 Gmaj7 Amaj7
