[Intro]

C Am Em G

C Am Em F

[Verse 1]

I was just coastin'

Am Em

Never really goin' anywhere

Caught up in a web

Am Em

I was gettin' kinda used to stayin' there

[Pre-Chorus]

C Am Em

And o-o-out of the blue

C Am Em G

I-I-I fell for you

[Chorus]

C Am

Now you're lifting me up 'stead of holding me down

Em G

Stealin' my heart 'stead of stealin' my crown

C Am Em F

Untangled all the strings 'round my wings that were tied

C Am

I didn't know him and I didn't know me

Em G

Cloud nine was always out of reach

C Am Em G

Now I remember what it feels like to fly

C Am Em F

You give me butterflies

[Verse 2]

Kiss full of color

Am Em

Makes me wonder where you've always been

I was hidin' in doubt

Am Em

'Til you brought me out of my chrysalis

[Pre-Chorus]

C Am Em

And I-I-I came out new

C Am Em G

A-a-all because of you

[Chorus]

C Am

Now you're lifting me up 'stead of holding me down

Em G

Stealin' my heart 'stead of stealin' my crown

C Am Em F

Untangled all the strings 'round my wings that were tied

C Am

I didn't know him and I didn't know me

Em G

Cloud nine was always out of reach

C Am Em G

Now I remember what it feels like to fly

C Am Em

You give me butterflies

C Am Em F

You give me butterflies

[Bridge - Solo]

Dm Am G

Dm F

[Chorus]

C Am

Now you're lifting me up 'stead of holding me down

Takin' my hand 'stead of takin' my crown

Untangled all the strings 'round my wings that were tied

C Am

I didn't know him and I didn't know me

Em G

Cloud nine was always out of reach

C Am Em G

Now I remember what it feels like to fly

C Am Em G

You give me butterflies

C Am Em G
