May I
Capo On 1st Fret
F#M7 xx4321
C Fmaj7
I just came in off the street
C Fmaj7
Looking for somewhere to eat
C Bb
I find a small café
Dm G
I see a girl and then I say
F#M7 B F# C# F7
May I sit and stare at you for a while?
F#M7 B F# C# F7
I`d like the company of your smile
C Fmaj7
You don`t have to say a thing
C Fmaj7
You`re the song without the sing
C Bb
The sunlight in your hair
Dm G
You look so good just sitting there
F#M7 B F# C# F7
May I sit and stare at you for a while?
