She’s [D]reinventing loving me
When [G]we’re resembling cutlery on [Bm]the sofa
It must have been about [A]5.01
Like [G]my blue ripped jeans
And my [D]eyes are closed and I’m way too tired
[G]Hoody still smells of the beach bonfire
On [Bm]the sofa, where we lay
[A]I wanna stay [G]inside all day


And it’s [Em]cold [G]outside, [D]again [A]
And we’re [Em]both so [G]high


We could[Bm]fly to Berlin, Tok[G]yo or Jamaica[D]
We can [Bm]go where you want
Say the [G]word and I’ll take ya [D]
[D]But I’d rather stay on the [Bm]so [A] [G]fa
On the [Bm]so [A] [G]fa, with you [D]


[D]When the morning comes
[G]We’re not watching Formula I
[Bm]It’s not what we breathe for
[A]So kick off the day with [G]Friends on T4
[D]Two, boiled and brew
[G]Two sugars ain’t too sweet for you
[Bm]On the sofa, where we lay
[A]I wanna stay [G]inside all day


And it’s[Em]cold [G]outside, [D]again [A]
And [Em]we’re still so [G]high


We could[Bm]fly to Berlin, Tok[G]yo or Jamaica[D]
We can [Bm]go where you want
Say the [G]word and I’ll take ya [D]
[D]But I’d rather stay on the [Bm]so [A] [G]fa
On the [Bm]so [A] [G]fa, with you [G]


[G]And it feels [A]like I’m [Bm]flying [D]
[G]And it feels [A]like
We could[Bm]go to Berlin, [G]Tokyo or Jamaica[D]
Through [Bm]the streets of New York
That is [G]where I will take ya [D]
Paris, [Bm]Rome, to Rio
Passing [G]through Las Vegas [D]
We can [Bm]go where you want
Say the [G]word, and I’ll take [D]ya
[D]But I’d rather stay on the [Bm]so [A] [G]fa
On the [Bm]so [A] [G]fa
On the [Bm]so [A] [G]fa, with [D]you
