Lyrics

Mo ment of hon es ty: some one’s got ta (Dmaj9)take the lead to night.

Who’s it gon na be?

I’m gon na sit right here and tell you all (Gmaj9)that comes to me.

And if you have some (Dmaj9)thin’ to say, it, you should say it right (Gmaj9)now.

(You should say it right now.)

(Bm9)You give me a feel in’ that I (Dmaj9)nev er felt be fore;

and I de serve it, I think I de serve it.

(Bm9)It’s be com in’ some thin’ that’s im (Dmaj9)pos si ble to ig nore;

it and I can’t take it.

I was won der (Gmaj9)in’, may be, could I make you my ba by?

If we do the un think a ble, would it make us look cra zy?

If you ask me, (Gmaj9)I’m read y.

(I’m read y, I’m read y.) If you ask me, I’m read y.

(I’m read y, I’m read y.) I know you were sent to me; this is ex act (Dmaj9)ly how it should feel when it’s meant to be.

Time is on ly wast in’, so why wait for (Gmaj9)e ven tual ly?

And If we gon’ do (Dmaj9)some thin’ ’bout it, we should do it right (Gmaj9)now.

(We should do it right now.)

(Bm9)You give me a feel in’ that I (Dmaj9)nev er felt be fore;

and I de serve it, I know I de serve it.

(Bm9)It’s be com in’ some thin’ that’s im (Dmaj9)pos si ble to ig nore;

it is what we make it.

I was won der (Gmaj9)in’, may be, could I make you my ba by?

If we do the un think a ble, would it make us look cra zy?

If you ask me, (Gmaj9)I’m read y.

(I’m read y, I’m read y.) If you ask me, I’m read y.

(I’m read y, I’m read y.) I know you were sent a ble, would it make us look cra zy, or would it be so (Gmaj9)beau ti ful?

Ei ther way, I’m say in’, if you ask me, (Gmaj9)I’m read y.

(I’m read y, I’m read y.) If you ask me, I’m read y.

(I’m read y, I’m read y.)

Why give up be fore we try, feel the lows be fore the highs, put up our wings be fore we fly a way?

(Fly a way.) I can’t say, I can’t com pare; I’m sus pend ed in the air.

Won’t you come be gin dis cov er ing?

I was won der in’, may be, could I make you my ba by?

If we do the un think a ble, would it make us look cra zy, or would it be so (Gmaj9)beau ti ful?

Ei ther way, I’m say in’, if you ask me, (Gmaj9)I’m read y.

(I’m read y, I’m read y.) If you ask me, I’m read y.

(I’m read y, I’m read y.) If you ask me, I’m read y.

(I’m read y, I’m read y.) If you ask me, I’m read y.

(I’m read y, I’m read y.) If you ask me, I’m read y.)
