[Intro]
Dm7Dm7C#m7Cm7Cm7C#m7Dm7
[Verse 1]
Dm7Dm7D#m7Cm7
The sweetest thing I've ever known
Cm7C#m7Dm7
Was like a kiss on the collarbone
Dm7D#m7Cm7
Soft caress of happiness
Cm7C#m7Dm7
The way you walk, your style of dress
Dm7D#m7Cm7
I wish I didn't get so weak
Cm7C#m7Dm7
Ooo, baby, just to hear you speak
Dm7D#m7Cm7
Makes me argue just to see
Cm7
How much you're in love with me
[Chorus 1]
D#maj7Dm7Cm7Cm7C#m7
See, like a queen, a queen upon her throne
Dm7Dm7C#m7Cm7Cm7C#m7
It was the sweet, sweet, sweetest thing I know
Dm7Dm7C#m7Cm7Cm7C#m7
It was the sweet, sweet, sweetest thing I know
[Verse 2]
Dm7Dm7D#m7Cm7
I get mad when you walk away
Cm7C#m7Dm7
So I tell you "Leave", when I mean "Stay"
Dm7D#m7Cm7
Warm as the sun dipped in black
Cm7C#m7Dm7
Fingertips on the small of my back
Dm7D#m7Cm7Cm7C#m7
More valuable than all I own
Dm7Dm7D#m7Cm7Cm7C#m7
Like your precious, precious, precious, precious, precious dark skin tone
[Bridge]
Dm7Dm7C#m7Cm7
It was the sweet, sweet, sweetest thing I know
F#m7
It was the...
Bm7F#m7Bm7F#m7Bm7F#m7Bm7
Ah, I tried to explain
Gm7C9Gm7C9Gm7C9Gm7C9
Ah, but baby, it's in vain
[Verse 3]
Dm7Dm7D#m7Cm7
Speaking on my mother's phone
Cm7C#m7Dm7
The touching makes me think I'm grown
Dm7D#m7Cm7
Sweet prince of the ghetto
Cm7C#m7Dm7
Your kisses taste like amaretto
Dm7D#m7Cm7Cm7C#m7
Intoxicating, oh, so intoxicating
Dm7Dm7D#m7Cm7
How sad, how sad that all things come to an end
[Chorus 2]
D#maj7Dm7Cm7Cm7C#m7
But then again, I'm, I'm not alone
Dm7Dm7C#m7Cm7Cm7C#m7
It was the sweet, sweet, sweetest thing I know
Dm7Dm7C#m7Cm7
It was the sweet, sweetest thing I know
[Outro]
F#m7Bm7F#m7Bm7F#m7Bm7F#m7Bm7
I sometimes watch you in your sleep
Gm7C9Gm7C9Gm7C9Gm7C9
Ah, excuse me if I get too cheesy, hey
Dm7Dm7C#m7Cm7
It was the sweet, sweet, sweetest thing I know...
