[ verse 1 ]

smiles in the morning at me

strangers in a brand new city
G G/F#
both remembering last night
Em G7
kitchen table and a bottle of wine
C Am/F Em G7
the only thing on my mind is you

[ pre – chorus 1 ]
C
the way the moonlight flickered in , we were
B+
stars of some old classic film

[ chorus ]
G D
with miss simone , singing
Am C
“pour some sugar in my bowl , baby”
G D
in the glow of the candlelight
Am C
we danced all night
G D
on the rooftop , thinking
Am C
no one needs to know a thing
Em G7
but miss simone
C B+
no one but miss simone

[ verse 2 ]
G G/F#
moving boxes cover the floor
Em G7
i never quite been here before
C Am/F
finally made a house feel like home
G G/F#
the years are flying past us now
Em G7
but you and i have figured out how
C Am/F Em G7
to conjure up a feeling so true

[ pre – chorus 2 ]

close the door and set the day down

settle in , and we’ll throw on some

[ bridge ]
Em
how’d she know
G7
what a heart sounds like
A7
in the glow of this candle
Am D/F#
on a rooftop in the moonlight?

[ verse 3 ]

someday when we’re old and gray
Em G7
sifting through our yesterdays

we’ll pull that memory from its sleeve

and play that song of you and me

with miss simone , singing
