[Intro]
Dm7 Dm7 C#m7 Cm7 Cm7 C#m7 Dm7

[Verse 1]
Dm7 Dm7 D#m7 Cm7
The sweetest thing I've ever known
Cm7 C#m7 Dm7
Was like a kiss on the collarbone
Dm7 D#m7 Cm7
Soft caress of happiness
Cm7 C#m7 Dm7
The way you walk, your style of dress
Dm7 D#m7 Cm7
I wish I didn't get so weak
Cm7 C#m7 Dm7
Ooo, baby, just to hear you speak
Dm7 D#m7 Cm7
Makes me argue just to see
Cm7
How much you're in love with me

[Chorus 1]
D#maj7 Dm7 Cm7 Cm7 C#m7
See, like a queen, a queen upon her throne
Dm7 Dm7 C#m7 Cm7 Cm7 C#m7
It was the sweet, sweet, sweetest thing I know
Dm7 Dm7 C#m7 Cm7 Cm7 C#m7
It was the sweet, sweet, sweetest thing I know

[Verse 2]
Dm7 Dm7 D#m7 Cm7
I get mad when you walk away
Cm7 C#m7 Dm7
So I tell you "Leave", when I mean "Stay"
Dm7 D#m7 Cm7
Warm as the sun dipped in black
Cm7 C#m7 Dm7
Fingertips on the small of my back
Dm7 D#m7 Cm7 Cm7 C#m7
More valuable than all I own
Dm7 Dm7 D#m7 Cm7 Cm7 C#m7
Like your precious, precious, precious, precious, precious dark skin tone

[Bridge]
Dm7 Dm7 C#m7 Cm7
It was the sweet, sweet, sweetest thing I know
F#m7
It was the...
Bm7 F#m7 Bm7 F#m7 Bm7 F#m7 Bm7
Ah, I tried to explain
Gm7 C9 Gm7 C9 Gm7 C9 Gm7 C9
Ah, but baby, it's in vain

[Verse 3]
Dm7 Dm7 D#m7 Cm7
Speaking on my mother's phone
Cm7 C#m7 Dm7
The touching makes me think I'm grown
Dm7 D#m7 Cm7
Sweet prince of the ghetto
Cm7 C#m7 Dm7
Your kisses taste like amaretto
Dm7 D#m7 Cm7 Cm7 C#m7
Intoxicating, oh, so intoxicating
Dm7 Dm7 D#m7 Cm7
How sad, how sad that all things come to an end

[Chorus 2]
D#maj7 Dm7 Cm7 Cm7 C#m7
But then again, I'm, I'm not alone
Dm7 Dm7 C#m7 Cm7 Cm7 C#m7
It was the sweet, sweet, sweetest thing I know
Dm7 Dm7 C#m7 Cm7
It was the sweet, sweetest thing I know

[Outro]
F#m7 Bm7 F#m7 Bm7 F#m7 Bm7 F#m7 Bm7
I sometimes watch you in your sleep
Gm7 C9 Gm7 C9 Gm7 C9 Gm7 C9
Ah, excuse me if I get too cheesy, hey
Dm7 Dm7 C#m7 Cm7
It was the sweet, sweet, sweetest thing I know...
