Love and Other Human Emotions

Intro

Verse 1

Valet at the Fairmont, cuff links shine (shine)
Dry-aged steak and a ‘09 wine (wine)
Jazz from the corner, smoke in the air (air)
Then I saw you on the marble stair (stair… stair…)

Pre-Chorus

Silk dress, a gaze like midnight rain (rain… rain…)
The whole room whispered, then went plain

Chorus

Oh, you were the finest thing (thing… thing…)
In a city full of fine things
Hold me till the foghorns sing (sing… sing…)
Then you’re gone (gone), then you’re gone (gone)
Oh, you were the finest thing (finest… finest…)

Verse 2

Bare shoulders lit by the candle glow (glow)
Hips that swayed when the bass hung low (low)
Long legs crossed on the forty-first floor (floor)
Your eyes said “maybe,” then “nothing more” (more… more…)

Pre-Chorus

Black hair falling like ink in rain (rain… rain…)
Dark eyes curved like a crescent flame

Chorus

Oh, you were the finest thing (thing… thing…)
In a city full of fine things
Hold me till the foghorns sing (sing… sing…)
Then you’re gone (gone), then you’re gone (gone)
Oh, you were the finest thing (finest… finest…)

Breakdown

Ask the fog where you went (went… went…)
It just rolls back in (in… in… in…)

Instrumental: filtered French-touch lead synth solo

Final Chorus

Oh, you were the finest thing (thing… thing…)
In a city full of fine things
Hold me till the foghorns sing (sing… sing…)
Then you’re gone (gone), then you’re gone (gone)
Oh, you were the finest thing (finest… finest…)
You were the finest thing (thing… thing… thing…)

Outro

The finest thing (finest… finest…)
Gone with the fog (gone… gone… gone…)
