Softly Chords

Softly - by Clairo
Capo 3
 
This version is inspired by the acoustic cover by Orla Gartland,
who adds a little baseline, which I marked with  and goes like this:
   Am   Cmaj9  C/G  Dsus(add9)
e|-----|-----|-----|-----|
B|--1--|--1--|--1--|--3--|
G|--2--|--0--|--0--|--0--|
D|--2--|--0--|--2--|--0--|
A|--0--|--2--|--3--|--5--|
E|-----|-----|--3--|--5--|
Alternatively you can stay on C/G
 
 
[Intro]
(the dots underneath are a 4/4-rhythm orientation)

e|-----------0--|--------------|
B|--------0-----|-----------3--|
G|-----0--------|--------4-----|
D|--------------|-----4--------|   x3
A|--3-----------|--2-----------|

[Verse 1]
        Cmaj7 Bm    Cmaj7 Bm
Is it alright    to feel this way so
Cmaj7 Bm    Bm7 Bbm7 Am7
early?
            Cmaj7 Bm           Cmaj7
And in my blood,     all the sweet
  Bm             Cmaj7   Bm
nothings fallin' in love overnight
 
Bm7 Bbm7 Am7
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
Cmaj7                Bm
      Didn't mean to get so close
Cmaj7                          Bm
      And I know that I should probably go
       Cmaj7     Bm
But I got this feeling
Bm       Bbm     Am~
Tell me, girl, I gotta know
 
 
[Chorus]
G                   Dm
 Touch you softly, I call you up late at night
C/G
   Know that it isn't right, but you could be my one and only
G                      Dm
 You get me in the mood, know what I'm tryna do
C/G
Do you think that we can move closer, baby?
X        G Dm C/G
I want you, yeah, yeah
 
 
[Instrumental] (like Intro)
Cmaj7 Bm  Cmaj7 Bm  Cmaj7 Bm
Bm7 Bbm7 Am7
 
 
[Verse 2]
       Cmaj7 Bm      Cmaj7  Bm
All my life,    been wanting this
   Cmaj7 Bm   Bm7 Bbm7 Am7
forever   (Mmm)
          Cmaj7 Bm        Cmaj7 Bm
And in my mind,   think of ways to ask you
      Cmaj7         Bm     Bm7 Bbm7 Am7
"Why don't you come over sometime?"
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
Cmaj7                Bm
      Didn't mean to get so close
Cmaj7                          Bm
      And I know that I should probably go
       Cmaj7     Bm
But I got this feeling
         Bm     Bbm    Am~
Tell me, girl, I gotta know
 
 
[Chorus]
G                  Dm
  Touch you softly, I call you up late at night
Am                              C/G
  Know that it isn't right, but you could be my one and only
G                       Dm
  You get me in the mood, know what I'm tryna do (Oh)
C/G
Do you think that we can move  closer,
baby?
           G Dm C/G
I   want you, yeah, yeah
 
 
[Outro]
G
(Ooh)
      Dm                   C/G
And I don't care what they say
      Am7                  G
And I don't care what they say
Dm            C/G
    Care what they say to me, I'm doing it differently
G      Dm            C/G
   Baby, I'm doing it differently
 
G Dm C/G
