A     A6        Amaj7*   A6
Is my world not falling down

A      A6     Amaj7*    A6
I'm in pieces on the ground

Bm
And my eyes aren't open

                           A   A6   Amaj7*  A6  Amaj7*  A6
And I'm standing on my knees
[Chorus]
       E                  Bm
But if crying and holding on

    D                       Bm
And flying on the ground is wrong

         A        Aaug
Then I'm sorry to let you down

    D           Bm
But you're from my side of town

A                A6  Amaj7*  A6  Amaj7*  A6
And I'll miss you
Am Am7 D7 [Verse 2]
A       A6    Amaj7*   A6
Turn me up or turn me down

A       A6     Amaj7*   A6
Turn me off or turn me round

  Bm
I wish I could have met you in a place

                   A    A6   Amaj7*  A6  Amaj7*  A6
Where we both belong
[Chorus]
       E                  Bm
But if crying and holding on

    D                       Bm
And flying on the ground is wrong

         A        Aaug
Then I'm sorry to let you down

    D                   Bm
But you're from my side of town

A               A6  Amaj7*  A6  Amaj7*  A6
And I'll miss you
Am Am7 D7 A A6 A7 [Bridge]
Dm          G             Em              F
Sometimes I feel like I'm just a helpless child

Dm          G           C    Esus   E
Sometimes I feel like a kid

          Amaj7        Bm
But baby, since I have changed

Amaj7       Bm           Amaj7      D
I can't take nothing home
[Verse 3]
A    A6          Amaj7*  A6
City lights at a country fair

A     A6        Amaj7* A6
Never shine but always glare

       Bm
If I'm bright enough to see you

                        A     A6   Amaj7*  A6  Amaj7*  A6
You're just too dark to care

       E                  Bm
But if crying and holding on

    D                       Bm
And flying on the ground is wrong

         A        Aaug
Then I'm sorry to let you down

    D           Bm
But you're from my side of town

         A5        A
And I'll miss you
