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.

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.
