Verse 1:
                      C
When I first laid eyes on you
     G                     D  C
Well, the night just felt so odd
                                     G
You looked at me and the stars lined up
       Em         D          C//
So I thought I'd heard from God
And I gave him my best shot

Chorus:

G          D         C           G     C       G
Loving you was like throwing a lasso around a tornado
   C       D
I tried to hold on to 
 G      D        C        G                 C          G
Took a ride on a tilt-a-whirl that sits on top of the world
         C              D
Man, I thought I could show you
       Em7         D          C//
I've always been afraid of flying
                C     D             G (Intro Chords 2x)
But you can't blame a girl for trying

Verse 2:
             C                             G
Felt like a pearl when I was holding your hand
            D   C
So precious I forgot
                    C                       G
You could have any girl but I only wanted one man
            Em               C
And you were everything I'm not
                        G
Still I gave it my best shot

Chorus:

G          D         C           G     C       G
Loving you was like throwing a lasso around a tornado
   C       D
I tried to hold on to 
G      D        C        G                 C      G
Took a turn on a high trapeze swinging over the deep
 C              D
I thought I could show you
       Em          D          C//
I've always been afraid of flying
         C                     D
But you can't blame a girl for trying

Bridge:
C9                    G
Like a vine bends a tree to the ground
D
I won't hold you down
  C9
I tried to climb just as high
    G               D                 C9
But I found all the clouds touch the ground
         Am
In this small town

   C        D
I thought I could show you
           G           D/F#     C
That I've always been afraid of flying
                    Am                G (Intro Chords 4x)
But you can't blame a girl for trying
