NOTES:
Jill Scott's classic song about her former husband Lyzel Williams.
It IS in Eb, so if you want to play along, you'll have to flatten
the four chords by a semi-tone (i.e. Ebm7, Abm7, Bmaj7, Bb7).
As they can all be played as barrés, that's not too difficult.
Lianne La Havas plays a cool version of this at her live shows.
Chords:
Em7    779787 or 075700
Am7    575555
Cmaj7  8 10 9988
B7     797877

[Verse 1]
Em7         Am7         Cmaj7              B7       Em7 
You love me    especial-     -ly different    every time
            Am7           Cmaj7        B7        
You keep me    on my feet      happily    excited
Em7              Am7            Cmaj7            B7                  
By your cologne,    your hands,      your smile,    your intelligence
Em7         Am7               Cmaj7              B7              
You woo me,     you court me,      you tease me,    you please me
Em7           Am7                               Cmaj7
You school me,    give me some things to think about
           B7               
Ignite me,    you invite me,
Em7             Am7            Cmaj7            
You co-write me,   you love me,      you like me
B7               Em7        Am7            
You incite me to    chorus,     ooh, ooh...

[Verse 2]
(same as verse 1)
You love me especially different every time
You keep me on my feet happily excited
By your cologne, and your hands, your smile, your intelligence

You school me, give me things to think about
Invite me, you ignite me, co-write me, you love me, you like me
Incite me to chorus

[Spoken]
Em7 Am7 Cmaj7 B7
You're different and special
You're different and special in every way imaginable
You love me from my hair follicles to my toenails
You got me feeling like the breeze, easy and free and lovely and new
Oh, when you touch me I just can't control it
When you touch me, I just can't hold it
The emotion inside of me, I can feel it
Ah...
