[Verse 1]
                                 G  C*                 G  
Maybe I'd understand if there was time left to explain

              G  G*    Em               C           G  G*   Em  C  
I never wanted it all  'til I found you
           G  G*    Em                   C  G  
Teach me as I fall, to fall towards you
[Chorus]
GI'm trying to kill the mBmoon
It's Cout of my range
But I've got Dstrength in my aim it's truGe
And it'll be here sBmoon
It's Cgoing to come down
DTied and bound for yGou
GOoooooooooBmoh    COooooooDooohG  
[Verse 2]
GI could fail and fail again
          C*                        G  
But in my mind I'm taller than before
GI break and I bend
       C*                                     G  G*   Em  C  
But my heart keeps coming back for more

I've always wanted it all
                 C     G  G*   Em  C  
Now I just want you

Catch me as I fall, fall into you
