   Gbm7             B7                       E   E6  Emaj7 E6
An ocean away, the heavens would say it was meant to be

I'll never forget the first time I saw you then

Primrose at three, you had all of me without saying a word

I don't recognize myself

I'm dancing down streets, smiling to strangers, idiotic things
  Gbm7                 Gbm7 
I trace it all back, 3:30 AM
     Abm7                          Db7 
That night, something turned in my heart
Gbm7                       B7sus4 B7   E     E6 Emaj7 E6
While you were sleeping, I fell   in  love

Gbm7                 B7                   E   E6    Emaj7 E6
Must be a trick, a, "Tag and you're it", kind of foolery
E    E6       Emaj7  E6      A  A6    Amaj7 A6
Then you take my hand, kiss me on the cheek
  Gbm7                   B7                     E     E6     Emaj7 E6
a light pink bouquet, a promise you'll stay and I start to believe

Chorus:
Ab           Dbm    Db
I don't recognize myself
    Gbm7                  B7                    Emaj7             Fdim
I'm writing a love song, who've I become? There must be something wrong
  Gbm7                 Gbm7 
I trace it all back, 3:30 AM
     Abm7                          Db7 
That night, something turned in my heart
Gbm7                       B7sus4 B7   E     E6 Emaj7 E6
While you were sleeping, I fell   in  love

Biography

Laufey (pronounced lāy-vāy) is an LA-based singer, composer, producer, and multi-instrumentalist whose transportative jazz songs about young love and self-discovery are filled with wonder and wanderlust. The Icelandic Chinese artist grew up playing cello and piano, inspired by her violinist mother, and became hooked on the jazz standards of Ella Fitzgerald after digging through her father’s records.
