I've wanted to play this song for years! Ellis does some funky tuning and an
combination between finger-picking and strumming.
I'm not 100% sure about this, but it sounds pretty close. Feel free to use if
you're like me and just want to play and sing this awesome song.
Capo 1st Fret
Intro
Em Fmaj7 C9 X4
[C] [G] [Am] [Em] [Fmaj7] [C][G][Fmaj7]
She fell to [C]the mattress
With the grace[G] of an actress
You're fallin[Am]g like a thief from a roof.[Em][Fmaj7]
She's aski[C]ng for proof , "are you stayi[G]ng? "
Outs[Fmaj7]ide you hear mission bells.
Welcome t[C]o maria[G]'s beautiful mess[Am]
In a[Em] cluttered apar[Fmaj7]tment on the west [C]side.
She pull[G]s the blinds while,
You watch[Fmaj7] how her dress falls round her .
Chorus
And[Am] the world slows, a cl[C9]ock shows
A[G] wrinkle in the flow of[Dsus] time
And[Am] she steps close, her eyes[C9] glow,
Lips p[G]op open like a bottle o[Dsus]f wine
And s[Am]he loves like it's thirst
Like she'[C9]s never been hurt,
She dances[G] just like nobody's watching.[Dsus]
[Am]Is this love? is this cursed?[C9]
It fe[G]els like the first time falling
Nobody's watching, [Dsus]
nobody's watching,[Am][C9]
Nobody's wat[G]ching, [Dsus]
Woooo hooooooo hoooooo[Am]oooo
Woooo hooooooo hooooooo[C9]ooo
Wooooo hooooooooo eeeeee[G]eeee
Heeeeeeeeeeee heeeeee[Dsus]ee
Em Fmaj7 C9 X2
Now she puts on some music[C],
She ask[G]s you to choose it
You sang he[Am]r back a gershwin [Em]line.[Fmaj7]
Now ella is singing holy, soulfu[C]lly[G]
Bringing up better times[Fmaj7]
And beneath the tun[C]es,
She'[G]s smiling on an unmade bed[Am]
She says, "what'[Em]s in the middle that [Fmaj7]scares you,[C]
Does it dare you[G]
To take a moment and just slow down? [Fmaj7]"
Chorus
Pull the curtains all down
On the prince or a clown,
She's smiling like the mona lisa.
You could conquer this town.
If your feet touched the ground,
But you're falling boy
I know, I see you
I see you, I see, I see,
I see you
