       E
  I am fragile in the morning, I grow stronger in the day
                                                         A
  I can sprint like a new spring doe by the fall of the night
           E
  Oh, and love has chased me down, through the cities and the towns
                                             A
  Until I stood beside the road and let it pass me by
         B/D#                                E        (Esus E )
  Like a fool, I've missed the rain 'cause I was cryin'.

               A/E       B/E                           E
  Then you are calling - call my heart awake from years of slumber
               A/E            B/E                           E
  And then I'm falling like a child head over heel in fields of summer.


              A                B                                E
  But can you hold me though I am inclined to leave my home and wander?
              Asus2           B                            E
  Oh, can you keep me like a child head over heel in fields of summer?
  A B        E        A B        E
  Fi-elds of summer - fi-elds of summer
        Asus2         B                             E
  I am falling like a child head over heel in fields of summer.


      E
  And now that you have caught me, are you sure you really want me
                                          D/A            A
  Though I'm fragile as December on your shoulder in the dawn?
               E
  And when the day has made me stronger, can you satisfy my hunger
                                               A
  When the night has come and I would race the moon across the sky?
            B                                 E
  Would you chase me through those open fields of summer?



               A/E       B/E                           E
  Then you are calling - call my heart awake from years of slumber
               A/E            B/E                           E
  And then I'm falling like a child head over heel in fields of summer.


              A                B                                E
  But can you hold me though I am inclined to leave my home and wander?
              Asus2           B                            E
  Oh, can you keep me like a child head over heel in fields of summer?
  A B        E        A B        E
  Fi-elds of summer - fi-elds of summer
        Asus2         B                             E
  I am falling like a child head over heel in fields of summer.


          A         B         E
  Can you hold me - hold me - hold me?
          A         B         E
  Can you hold me - hold me - hold me?
        A             B                             E
  I am falling like a child head over heel in fields of summer.
