In the song, Felix sings in a very loose, free style. Due to this it's hard to place
exactly where you change the chord just by looking at the words here- but as long as you
know the beat, you'll be fine.
The second verse and chorus have the same chord pattern as the first verse and chorus.
The final chorus is the same again, except with a key change.
Also, in the first verse there is a bit where there is no music, just words. At these
points, I've put the chords in brackets. They are optional.
I've left out the instrumental trumpet solo chords. Sorry if the lyrics are wrong- I

Intro:
[F#]I cannot [C#]say 'o[Abm]h sweetness[C#]'
like he [F#]could[C#][Abm][C#]
cause [F#]I cannot [C#]play a [Abm]lullaby
[C#]like it [F#]should[C#][Abm][C#]
F# Abm C# x2
Verses:
I [F#]used to cry but now I have to laugh
because she[Abm]'s got that torment
[C#]to a fine art
[F#]smart like a foxy
and craf-ty-as-A-cat[Abm]
i'm looking up
as i'm lying on my back
bite the [F#]beast
if i want a big piece of the pie
but she'[Abm]s taken the feast
in the [C#]blink of an eye
I [F#]can-not-jus-ti-fy
what's going on
- it [Abm]feels so right
when it [C#]seems so wrong
like a [F#]plot hatched
in the sweet spot of that trap
-[(G#m)] ask what she's schemes
she say [(C#)]'oh this and that'
then she[(F#)] snaps like a camera
in black with a flash
puts the[(G#m)] drum in the drama
the[(C#)] hand in the clap
she's [F#]a map with no bearings
attached - no
[Abm]safety-in-this-match
[C#]fire you can't catch
then [F#]zap I was struck by that
bolt before dawn
then by[Abm] breakfast honey
we was [C#]signed and sworn
[Abm] [Bbm] [B] [C#]
I'll give yo[F#]u all night movi[C#]e marathon
[Abm] [C#] [F#][C#]
[Abm]and [C#]a triple expresso so you can stay awake
it might be [F#]late - but
it'[C#]s never too late for th[Abm]at lovin
my [C#]sexy ba[F#]be[C#][Abm][C#]
[F#]something always [C#]telling me
'sav[Abm]e prayers befor[C#]e dawn'
cos what [F#]happens when I'[C#]m with you
makes me [Abm]shake my head then [C#]smile and yawn
I'[F#]m worn out but I?[C#]?m beaming
and it [Abm]seems that we are [C#]dreamy
as we [F#]head out through that [C#]strange old morning [Abm]door[C#]
(Verse Two)
(Chorus Two)
Key change sequence: Cm Dm Bb Eb F
Final Chorus: up 4 semitones
F# becomes Bb
C# becomes F
Abm becomes Cm
Outro:
[Bb] [Eb/F] [F]
