[Intro]
C#m7                        F#7
I think we could do it if we tried
          Gmaj7       G#m
If only to say, you're mine
C#m7                  F#7
Sofia, know that you and I
         Gmaj7       G#m
Shouldn't feel like a crime

[Verse 1]
C#m7         F#7    Gmaj7
You know I'll do anything
            G#m
 you ask me to
C#m7      F#7     Gmaj7
But oh my God, I think
                G#m
 I'm in love with you
C#m7                   F#7
Standing here alone now, 
think that we can drive around
Gmaj7                  
I just wanna say how I 
    G#m
love you with your hair down
C#m7                       F#7
Baby, you don't got to fight, 
I'll be here till the end of time
Gmaj7                     
Wishing that you were mine,
 G#m
 pull you in, it's alright

[Chorus]
C#m7                  
I think we could do it
      F#7
 if we tried
          Gmaj7       G#m
If only to say, you're mine
C#m7                  F#7
Sofia, know that you and I
         Gmaj7       G#m
Shouldn't feel like a crime

[Verse 2]
C#m7                F#7
Honey, I don't want it to fade
Gmaj7                G#m
There's things that I know
 could get in the way
C#m7                F#7
I don't want to say goodbye
Gmaj7                   
And I think that we could
 G#m
 do it if we tried

Shouldn't feel like a crime

if we tried
