Eb 
 (E flat major) To fall in love isn't easy
Ebmaj7

But I can't help but fall when
Ab/Eb 
I look into your  (A flat/Eb) eyes
So blue, I love the hue
Bb/D 
Bb7 
But  (B flat/D) more   than that I  (B flat7) do    love you and
Eb 
 (E flat major) Every night I'm in bed
Ebmaj7 
I fight to keep you from my  (E flat minoraj7) mind
And almost every day
Ab/Eb 
that's how I spend most of my  (A flat/Eb) time
It's true, there is no use
Bb/D 
Bb7 
I  (B flat/D) can't  escape the  (B flat7) thought of you, so

Chorus 1
Eb 
 (E flat major) Would you trust me to catch you

Bb7 
That I loved you, that I loved you  (B flat7) 
Eb 
 (E flat major) But I'm afraid, I'm scared,
Ebmaj7 
of those romantic words, you  (E flat minoraj7) see?
Ain't it ironic how those
Ab/Eb 
are just the songs I  (A flat/Eb) sing     about?
My lovely, do you really love me?
Bb7 
When I  (B flat7) hear  you whisper under your breath

Eb 
 (E flat major) I lost you when I lost me,
Ebmaj7

All the hurt I was feeling
Ab 
in my heart, it made me blind  (A flat major) to you
Bb7 
What you'd been through, I  (B flat7) paid  no mind
Eb 
Though I meant to and  (E flat major) 
All the fire I felt within my bones
Ebmaj7 
became e (E flat minoraj7) clipsed

and oh my God, your lips  (A flat/Eb) 
Oh, I just wish that,
Bb7 
I just wish  (B flat7) that you would

Barre chords ask a lot of the fretting hand. The barre course walks through hand position, pressure, and the cleanest way to land each shape. Practice barre chords

Most chord-change problems come from the strumming hand, not the fretting hand. The basic strumming course covers the patterns and timing that make any chord progression easier to play. Practice basic strumming
