D          Em  
In crowded bars, 
D         Em
at subway cars

G
Whenever you are next to me,
A
center of gravity,
G                                D
can't feel both feet on the ground

D                  Em
Walking home after dark, 
D                 Em
past the softball park

G
Whenever you are next to me,
A
center of gravity,
G                                D
can't feel both feet on the ground

C#m           G  A          G         A             G
It's clear to me, according to a rule I learned one day in school
C#m       G     A               G               A
Basic geometry: two halves of a circle, you and me

D               Em
It's a familial song 
D              Em
we've known so long

G
Your clever cuts into me
A
as long as you're next to me
G                                  D
I can't feel both feet on the ground 

G
Whenever you are next to me,
A
center of gravity,
G                                D
can't feel both feet on the ground

D  Em  (bop bop ba da ba ba da!)
