Verse 1:
Dm7Dm7                  Dm7Dm7 D#m7D#m7 Cm7Cm7
  The sweetest thing I've ever known
                  Cm7Cm7 C#m7C#m7 Dm7Dm7
Was like a kiss on the collarbone
             Dm7Dm7 D#m7D#m7 Cm7Cm7
Soft caress of happiness
                   Cm7Cm7 C#m7C#m7 Dm7Dm7
The way you walk, your style of dress
              Dm7Dm7 D#m7D#m7 Cm7Cm7
I wish I didn't get so weak
                 Cm7Cm7 C#m7C#m7 Dm7Dm7
Ooo, baby, just to hear you speak
              Dm7Dm7 D#m7D#m7 Cm7Cm7
Makes me argue just to see
                Cm7Cm7
How much you're in love with me


Chorus 1:
      D#Maj7D#maj7   Dm7Dm7  Cm7Cm7       Cm7Cm7 C#m7C#m7
See, like a queen, a queen  upon her throne
      Dm7Dm7      Dm7Dm7   C#m7C#m7  Cm7Cm7  Cm7Cm7 C#m7C#m7
It was the sweet, sweet, sweetest thing I know
      Dm7Dm7      Dm7Dm7   C#m7C#m7  Cm7Cm7  Cm7Cm7 C#m7C#m7
It was the sweet, sweet, sweetest thing I know

Verse 2:
Dm7Dm7               Dm7Dm7 D#m7D#m7 Cm7Cm7
  I get mad when you walk away
                     Cm7Cm7 C#m7C#m7 Dm7Dm7
So I tell you "Leave", when I mean "Stay"
                Dm7Dm7 D#m7D#m7 Cm7Cm7
Warm as the sun dipped in black
                 Cm7Cm7 C#m7C#m7 Dm7Dm7
Fingertips on the small of my back
          Dm7Dm7  D#m7D#m7 Cm7Cm7   Cm7Cm7 C#m7C#m7
More valuable than all  I  own
Dm7Dm7                          Dm7Dm7 D#m7D#m7 Cm7Cm7        Cm7Cm7 C#m7C#m7
  Like your precious, precious, precious, precious, precious dark skin tone

It was the...
Bm7Bm7 F#m7F#m7 Bm7Bm7 F#m7F#m7 Bm7Bm7        F#m7F#m7 Bm7Bm7
Ah,        I tried to explain
Gm7Gm7 C9C9 Gm7Gm7 C9C9 Gm7Gm7        C9C9  Gm7Gm7 C9C9
  Ah,    but baby, it's in vain


Verse 3:
Dm7Dm7               Dm7Dm7 D#m7D#m7 Cm7Cm7
  Speaking on my mother's phone
                   Cm7Cm7 C#m7C#m7 Dm7Dm7
The touching makes me think I'm grown
             Dm7Dm7 D#m7D#m7 Cm7Cm7
Sweet prince of the ghetto
                Cm7Cm7 C#m7C#m7 Dm7Dm7
Your kisses taste like amaretto
       Dm7Dm7 D#m7D#m7 Cm7Cm7       Cm7Cm7 C#m7C#m7
Intoxicating, oh, so  intoxicating
Dm7Dm7           Dm7Dm7 D#m7D#m7  Cm7Cm7
  How sad, how sad that all things come to an end


Chorus 2:
     D#Maj7D#maj7 Dm7Dm7     Cm7Cm7     Cm7Cm7 C#m7C#m7
But then again,   I'm, I'm not alone

Gm7Gm7 C9C9 Gm7Gm7 C9C9    Gm7Gm7     C9C9    Gm7Gm7 C9C9
  Ah,    excuse me if I get too cheesy,   hey
