A Bm Amaj7 Bm
Is my world not falling down
A Bm Amaj7 Bm
I�m in pieces on the ground
NC Bm
And my eyes aren�t open
A Bm Amaj7 Bm (like intro)
And I�m standing on my knees

(chorus)
A E Bm
But if crying and holding on
D Bm
And flying on the ground is wrong
A A+
Then I�m sorry to let you down
D
But you�re from
Bm
My side of town
A Bm Amaj7 Bm
And I�ll miss you
A Bm Amaj7 Bm
Turn me up or turn me down
A Bm Amaj7 Bm
Turn me off or turn me �round
Bm
I wish I could have met you in a place
A Bm Amaj7 Bm
Where we both belong

(chorus) (on last line hold on A, omit Bm, Amaj7 and Bm;
go straight from A to bridge)


BRIDGE:
F G Em Am
Sometimes I feel like I�m just a helpless child
F G C
Sometimes I feel like a king
E
But, baby
Amaj7 Bm Amaj7
Since I have changed
Bm Amaj7 D (tap guitar top 2x w/finger) D (repeat taps)
I can�t take nothing home

A Bm Amaj7 Bm
City lights at a country fair
A Bm Amaj7 Bm
Never shine but always glare
A Bm
If I�m bright enough to see you
A Bm Amaj7 Bm
You�re just too dark to care

(chorus) (end last chorus on held A chord)
