Intro: F#m7 – Bm7 – E – C#m7
F#m Bm7 E
Clair, the moment I met you, I swear.
C#m7 F#m7 F#m
I felt as if something, somewhere,
Bm7 G#m7-5 E
Had happened to me, which I couldn’t see.
F#m Bm7 E
And then, the moment I met you, again.
C#m7 F#m
I knew in my heart that we were friends.
Bm7 G#m7-5 E
It had to be so, it couldn’t be no.
A G Bm7
But try as hard as I might do, I don’t know why.
E A
You get to me in a way I can’t describe.
D7+ D7+/Eb
Words mean so little when you look up and smile.
D7+/E F#m
I don’t care what people say, to me you’re more than a child.
Bm7 E
Oh Clair. Clair
F#m
Clair
Bm7 E
If ever a moment so rare
C#m7 F#m
Was captured for all to compare.
Bm7 G#m7 E
That moment is you in all that you do.
A G * Bm7
But why in spite of our age difference do I cry.
E A
Each time I leave you I feel I could die.
D7+ D7+/E
Nothing means more to me than hearing you say,
D7+/E F#m
“I’m going to marry you. Will you marry me? Oh hurray!”
Bm7 E
Oh Clair Clair
Gm – Cm7 – F – Bb – Gm – D
F#m Bm7 E
Clair, I’ve told you before “Don’t you dare!”
A F#m
“Get back into bed.”
Bm7 E
“Can’t you see that it’s late.”
A F#m
“No you can’t have a drink.”
Bm7 E A
“Oh aright then, but wait just a minute.”
G Bm7 E
While I, in an effort to babysit, capture my breath,
A
What there is left of it.
D7+ D7+/Eb
You can be murder at this hour of the day.
D7+/E F#m
But in the morning the sun will see my lifetime away.
