You think I’m pret ty with out (Bbsus2)an y make up on, you think I’m fun ny when I (Bbsus2)tell the punch line wrong.

I know you get me, so I (Bbsus2)let my walls come down,

Be fore you met me, I (Fsus)was all right but things were kind of heav y.

(Gm)You brought (Fsus)me to life.

Now, ev ’ry Feb ru a ry, you’ll (Fsus)be my val en tine,

Let’s go (Ebmaj7)all

just (Gm)love.

We can (Ebmaj7)dance

un (Gm)til (Fsus)we die, you and I

will be (Gm)young (Fsus)for ev er.

(Ebmaj7)You make me (Fsus)feel like I’m liv ing a (Ebmaj7)teen age dream, (Fsus)the way you turn me on.

(Ebmaj7)I can’t sleep.

(Fsus)Let’s run a way and don’t (Ebmaj7)ev er look back, don’t ev (Fsus)er look back.

(Ebmaj9)My heart stops (Fsus)when you look at me.

(Ebmaj9)Just one touch, (Fsus)now ba by, I be lieve (Ebmaj9)this is real.

(Fsus)So take a chance and don’t (Ebmaj9)ev er look back, don’t ev (Fsus)er look back.

We drove to Ca li and (Fsus)got drunk on the beach, were got a mo tel (Gm)and built (Fsus)a fort out of sheets.

Teacher’s notes

This arrangement is a great way to get comfortable with extended chords in a pop context — those Ebmaj7, Ebmaj9, and Bbsus2 voicings sound lush but sit nicely under your fingers once you've mapped them out.

Your left hand plays block bass, so the rhythmic drive comes mainly from your right hand; focus on locking that right-hand pulse to the 120 BPM groove before speeding up.

The trickiest transitions tend to be moving between Fsus4 and Gm cleanly — practice just that two-chord shift in a slow loop until the fingering feels automatic.

I'd suggest hands-separate work first, especially to nail the stretch in those maj9 shapes, then combine at around 80 BPM and build up gradually.

Watch your timing on the sus2 and sus4 chords; students often rush through suspensions instead of letting them breathe.

This is the song that'll make extended major voicings feel like second nature in your playing.
