Verse 1
Eb 
To fall in love isn't easy
Ebmaj7 
when you're afraid of heights
But I can't help but fall when
Ab/Eb 
I look into your eyes
So blue, I love the hue
Bb/D 
Bb7 
But more   than that I do    love you and
Eb 
Every night I'm in bed
Ebmaj7 
I fight to keep you from my mind
And almost every day
Ab/Eb 
that's how I spend most of my time
It's true, there is no use
Bb/D 
Bb7 
I can't  escape the thought of you, so

Chorus 1
Eb 
Would you trust me to catch you
Ebmaj7 
at the bottom of the pool?
If I told you, my whole heart,
Ab/Eb 
that I loved you
Bb7 
That I loved you, that I loved you
Eb 
But I'm afraid, I'm scared,
Ebmaj7 
of those romantic words, you see?
Ain't it ironic how those
Ab/Eb 
are just the songs I sing     about?
My lovely, do you really love me?
Bb7 
When I hear  you whisper under your breath

Verse 2
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Eb 
I lost you when I lost me,
Ebmaj7 
didn't mean to at the time
All the hurt I was feeling
Ab 
in my heart, it made me blind to you
Bb7 
What you'd been through, I paid  no mind
Eb 
Though I meant to and
All the fire I felt within my bones
Ebmaj7 
became eclipsed
Just the touch of your hands, your heart
Ab/Eb 
and oh my God, your lips
Oh, I just wish that,
Bb7 
I just wish that you would

Chorus 2
Eb 
Would you trust me to catch you
Ebmaj7

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

Accurately transcribed by the GuitarTuna team.

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

Even perfectly fretted chords sound wrong on an out-of-tune guitar. Get in tune in seconds, right in your browser, with the free online guitar tuner
