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;

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)
