Verse 1:
                       C
When I first laid eyes on you

      G                       D    C
Well, the night just felt so odd

                                      G
You looked at me and the stars lined up

       Em         D          C//
So I thought I'd heard from God
And I gave him my best shot

Chorus:

 G            D           C             G       C         G
Loving you was like throwing a lasso around a tornado

    C         D
I tried to hold on to

  G        D          C          G                   C            G
Took a ride on a tilt-a-whirl that sits on top of the world

          C                D
Man, I thought I could show you

       Em7         D          C//
I've always been afraid of flying
                C     D             G (Intro Chords 2x)
But you can't blame a girl for trying

Verse 2:
              C                               G
Felt like a pearl when I was holding your hand

             D     C
So precious I forgot

                     C                         G
You could have any girl but I only wanted one man

             Em                  C
And you were everything I'm not

                         G
Still I gave it my best shot


Chorus:

 G            D           C             G       C         G
Loving you was like throwing a lasso around a tornado

    C         D
I tried to hold on to

 G        D          C          G                   C        G
Took a turn on a high trapeze swinging over the deep

  C                D
I thought I could show you

       Em          D          C//
I've always been afraid of flying
          C                       D
But you can't blame a girl for trying


Bridge:
 Cadd9                          G
Like a vine bends a tree to the ground

 D
I won't hold you down

   Cadd9
I tried to climb just as high

     G                 D                   Cadd9
But I found all the clouds touch the ground

          Am
In this small town


Instr:  G  D C G x2
End Chorus:
 G         F           C       G        C                   G
Took a ride on a high trapeze swinging over the deep

    C          D
I thought I could show you

            G             D/F#          C
That I've always been afraid of flying

                    Am                G (Intro Chords 4x)
But you can't blame a girl for trying
                                  C
No, you can't blame a girl.... heeeey
