Cloud 9 Chords

CLOUD 9
by Janelle Monáe
 
This song is from the her first album (and first installment of the Metropolis series) "The Audition"—some-
times called "Metropolis: Point Zero".
 
NOTE: Most of the song only repeats two chords, Bm7 and Am7. Notice that each is not played with an equal
 length of one(1) measure. Rather, Bm7 is played (almost) half a measure, while Am7 is played from there on
 until the end of the next measure.
 
 
Key: G# Minor
Capo 4

[VERSE 1]
Bm7                Am7
 Every five minutes checkin' my phone
 
Sittin' on the edge of my bed
                     Bm7    Am7
Just to see if you called
 
See I been waitin' all day
Bm7               Am7
 Lately I've been actin' strange and things
 
Walkin' 'round like I'm in a trance
                     Bm7    Am7
Singin' silly love songs
 
And that ain't me at all
 
[PRE-HOOK]
         Bm7     Am7                           Bm7   Am7
See I've tried to brush it off as just a silly game
 
That young girls like to play
       Bm7       Am7                                Bm7   Am7
But as time moved on I knew my heart only beats for you
 
See what I'm tryna say is
 
[HOOK]
    Bm7     Am7
You make me feel
 
The way I felt when I first met you
       Bm7      Am7
And my soul got chills
    Bm7     Am7
You make me feel
 
Like I can't breathe without your love
           Bm7   Am7
And that's oh so real
 
[VERSE 2]
      Bm7                       Am7
See I never thought I'd fall in love
 
A girl like me, it was impossible
          Bm7            Am7
And now I find myself in love
 
Boy, you got my nose wide open
  Bm7     Am7
I can't believe that you would be the one
          Bm7             Am7
Who would end my childish games for good
 
[PRE-HOOK]
         Bm7     Am7                           Bm7   Am7
See I've tried to brush it off as just a silly game
 
That young girls like to play
       Bm7       Am7                                Bm7   Am7
But as time moved on I knew my heart only beats for you
 
See what I'm tryna say is
 
[HOOK]
    Bm7     Am7
You make me feel
 
The way I felt when I first met you
       Bm7      Am7
And my soul got chills
    Bm7     Am7
You make me feel
 
Like I can't breathe without your love
           Bm7   Am7
And that's oh so real
