We fall apart as it gets dark
I'm in your arms in Central Park

There's nothing you could do or say
Am
I can’t escape the way I love you

I don’t want to, but I love you, ooh
Fmaj7 Cmaj7
Ooh, ooh
Fmaj7 Cmaj7
Ooh, ooh
Fmaj7 Cmaj7

version 2
Tuning: E A D G B E
He generally seems to be playing the same pattern for the Fmaj7b5 and Cmaj7 chords in the verses:
Fmaj7b5 Cmaj7
e|| -------------0---------------0--- || -------------0---------------0--- ||
B|| -----0-------0-------0-------0--- || -----0-------0-------0-------0--- ||
G||.---2-------2-------2-------2-----.||.---0-------0-------0-------0-----.||
D||.-3-------3-------3-------3-------.||.---------------------------------.||
A|| --------------------------------- || -3-------3-------3-------3------- ||
E|| --------------------------------- || --------------------------------- ||
1 e + a 2 e + a 3 e + a 4 e + a 1 e + a 2 e + a 3 e + a 4 e + a
He doesn't actually play the chords in verse 2, but the backing track continues, so I have listed the chords
for that verse too. The pattern changes for the chorus sections, but he restarts the pattern with the Cmaj7
chords over the oohs at the end of the chorus.
