C#m7                         C#m7/A                 The beat kicks in and then I sing a bit more rythmically
 C#m7/F#             C#m7/B       C#m7/CTo make it sensual I sing it in a minor key
C#m7                       C#m7/A  I move my hands like I'm pushing someone in front of me

      C#m7              C#m7/A                     This is my backup and he sings quite breathilly (Breathilly)
  C#m7/F#                    C#m7/B       C#m7/CHe takes the words I sing and sings them after me (Sings em after me)
   C#m7               C#m7/A          He emphasises words and sings them emphatically (I sing EMPHATICALLY)
C#m7/F#                                     ANow listen to us singing acapella harmony
G#m                   F#m Now were back at the bridge
          G#m                  AI haven't written anything for this
           G#m         F#m             G#m         A  So. I'm. gooo honna. streeh heeetch. ooout. the words.

      ATil I get (Til I get)
      G#mTil I get (Til I get)
      F#mTil I get (Til I get)
      G#m                    F#mTil I get back to the chorus
A                       BThis is how you write a love song
G#m                                   F#mYeah a shitty, shitty, shitty, shitty love song
       A                        BAnd to show you I care I throw my hands in the air
                                       C#m          G#mAnd cut the music while I sing a long noooooooote

C#m                                                G#m               Hey girl I've been standing up the back not doing much for this song
                                              C#m But that's because my talents are quite limited
                                            G#m                                But that don't mean that I love you any less

    
In fact it means the opposite (Im just showing off my voice)

C#m             It just it's so hard for me to find the words
 
                     G#m    To really express the way that I feel about you girl

              C#m       Especially when I have to worry about fitting those words to music 

                             G#m       And there's some kind of rhyme structure involved (Meaningless Whisper)

C#m       I know it's lazy song writing but I dont care 
G#mCos I sleep on a big pile of money at night
C#m  girl You might think it's weird girl 
                                     G#mthat three guys are singing about the one girl girl
                                      C#mBut let me tell you something girl it's not weird at all
                                      G#mIn fact girl It's an industry standard
                            
and it happens all the time (Happens all the time)
C#m                                      G#m                          Well girl I better wrap this up about now cos I just about to cut off by..

   Am                         GmIt means your singing passionately
