Verse
F#m   C#/F F#m    C#/F          F#m    C#/F
There was a love affair in this building
            F#m     C#/F
The kind of love affair
     D                 Bm7           F#m       C#/F  F#m  C#/F
That every respectable building must keep as a legend
F#m   C#/F  F#m      C#/F      F#m       C#/F   F#m
   Slowly   festering through an innocent "By the way,
         C#/F
have you heard?"
D                Bm7                       F#m    C#/F  F#m C#/F
He was perfect except for the fact that he was an engi- neer

Verse
F#m   C#/F        F#m C#/F
Yet despite this imperfection
      F#m    C#/F         F#m       C#/F
He was clean-looking and respectable-looking
           D            Bm7
And you'll never find a mother
              F#m        C#/F  F#m  C#/F
Who doesn't appreciate a natural man
F#m   C#/F    F#m    C#/F F#m  C#/F         F#m   C#/F
   So he grew healthy aloe  vera plants by the window
D                    Bm7
Healthy teeth in his mouth
F#m      C#/F      F#m C#/F
Healthy hair on his head
 
Bridge
F#m  C#7/G# F#m/A  F#7/A# Bm7add11  Cdim7        C#
  He  grew  heal- thy     wavy brown hair on his head
    F#m C#7/G#          F#m/A  F#7/A#  Bm7add11
The kind, the kind that babies always  go for
     Cdim7          C#
With sticky little fingers
