  C#m7
I saw you there
   A6          Am+7
I stopped and stared
    C#dim         A6   Am+7
the curly girlie smiled
    C#m7
You really were
    A6       Am+7
too close to her
    C#m7             A6 Am+7
and people just went by

I saw your face
And her embrace
Your whisper in her ear
I know the score
Cause I've heard it before
I read your lips with fear

D#dim B          G#7
Your words were clear (you said):

Chorus:
Em7            A
La-la-la-la-la-la
             Dmaj7                D#dim
Let's say forever, let's say it's true
Em7             A
la-la-la-la-la-la
             Dmaj7    C#maj7 Cmaj7
let's come together, me and you
D#dim
la-la-la-la-la-la
      B     G#7
your new cuckoo

I read your lips with fear

Your words were clear, you said:

Chorus:
La-la-la-la-la-la
Let's say forever, let's say it's true
La-la-la-la-la-la
Let's come together, me and you
La-la-la-la-la-la
Your new cuckoo
La-la-la-la-la-la
Let's say forever, let's say it's true
La-la-la-la-la-la
Let's come together, me and you
La-la-la-la-la-la
Let's say forever, let's say it's true
La-la-la-la-la-la
Let's come together, me and you

And me, and you
Your new cuckoo
Your new cu-cu-cuckoo
