Lyrics

A tor (Fmaj7)na do flew a round my room be fore you came, ex cuse the mess it made.

It us ually does n’t rain in (Fmaj7)South ern Ca li for nia, much like Ar i zo na.

My eyes don’t shed tears, but boy, they pour when I’m (Fmaj7)think ing ’bout you,

oh, (Dm7)no, no, no.

I been (Em7)think ing ’bout you,

you (A7)know, know, know.

I been (Fmaj7)think ing ’bout you,

do you (Em7)think a bout

me still?

Do you, do you?

Or do you not think so far

a head?

’Cause I been think ing ’bout for (Dm7)ev er,

ooh.

Or do you not (Dm7)think so far

a head?

’Cause I been think ing ’bout for (Dm7)ev er,

ooh.

No, I don’t (Fmaj7)like you, I just thought you were cool e nough to kick it, got a (Em7)beach house I could sell you in I da ho.

Since you think I don’t (Fmaj7)love you, I just thought you were cute, that’s why I kissed you.

Got a (Ebmaj7)fight er jet; I don’t get to fly it though.

I’m ly ing down,

Yes, of course I re (Dm7)mem ber.

How could I for get

how you (G)feel?

You know (Dm7)you were my first time,

a new (G)feel.

It won’t ev er get old, not in my soul, not in my spi rit, keep it a live.

We’ll go down this (Dm7)road ’til it turns from col or to black and white.

Or do you not (Dm7)think so far

a head?

’Cause I been think ing ’bout for (Dm7)ev er,

ooh.

Or do you not (Dm7)think so far

a head?

’Cause I been think ing ’bout for (Dm7)ev er,

ooh.

Teacher’s notes

This arrangement is a great way to build confidence with extended chords in a real R&B context — you're working through nine chord shapes including Am7, Dm7, Em7, and Fmaj7, so your left hand needs to be comfortable with that octave bass pattern while your right hand voices those jazzy sevenths cleanly.

Watch the Ebmaj7 especially: it's the outsider chord in the key of C, and the reach can catch you off guard if you haven't isolated that transition from Dm7 a few times.

At 65 BPM you have breathing room, but don't let the slow tempo trick you into ignoring the syncopated rhythms in the melody — tap the rhythm on your knee before adding pitch.

I'd suggest hands-separate work first, looping the section where A7 appears since that dominant seventh pulls your fingers into a less familiar shape.

Once both hands feel automatic, bring them together at half tempo and gradually build up.

This is the kind of song that will genuinely solidify your seventh-chord vocabulary, so spend time here — these shapes will follow you into dozens of other R&B and pop tunes.
