Verse 1:
A
 Ive never met anyone
                    Cm
Who reminds me of the sun.

I’m scared to get too close

Cause I’m afraid of being burned.


Verse 2:
A
 My wings are mad of wax,
                    Cm
But I think maybe perhaps

I’ll fly out into space
Cm*
  Hope I don’t disintegrate.

D
 Oooh,
                  A      D7
I’m falling for you.
D
 Oooh,
                        A      D7
What a thing for me to do.
D
 Oooh,
                        A
And babe I won’t blame you,
          E
I flew too close,
        D*
Now I’m drowning.


Verse 3:
A
 Should’ve followed my dads advice,
                                      Cm
He always told me that I should think twice

Before flying too high or low,

Into the sun or the undertow,
D
 And babe I just want you to know
          E*
That if I looked like you,

I’d only love myself.


Chorus:
D
 Oooh,
                  A      D7
I’m falling for you.
D
 Oooh,
                        A      D7
What a thing for me to do.
D
 Oooh,
                        A
And babe I won’t blame you,
          E
I flew too close,
        D*
Now I’m drowning.


(Slower)
A  Cm  D  E  x2


Bridge:
A
 Some days you’re the artist,
Cm
  Some days you’re the masterpiece.
D
 You hate your hands
        E
But damn, I wish they made me.
A
 Maybe I’m a fool
Cm                             D
  For thinking you could set me free

When I’m with you
   E*
It doesn’t hurt to bleed.


Verse 4:
A
 Don’t believe in happy endings
Cm
  The end is always the saddest part.
D
 But Karissa, I just want to kiss you
   E*
And I kind of miss you when we’re apart.


Chorus:
D
 Ooh,
                  A   D7
I’m falling for you
D
 Ooh,
                        A  D7
What a thing for me to do.
D
 Oooh,
                 A
I forgot my parachute
              E     D  A
And I melted into you.
