LA SIm LAmaj7 SIm
Is my world not falling down

And my eyes aren’t open

And I’m standing on my knees
(chorus)
LA MI SIm
But if crying and holding on
RE SIm
And flying on the ground is wrong
LA LA+
Then I’m sorry to let you down
RE
But you’re from
SIm
My side of town
LA SIm LAmaj7 SIm
And I’ll miss you
LA SIm LAmaj7 SIm
Turn me up or turn me down
LA SIm LAmaj7 SIm
Turn me off or turn me ‘round
SIm
I wish I could have met you in a place
LA SIm LAmaj7 SIm
Where we both belong
