Chords

The other versions are good but they have a few mistakes/omissions, notably an Em from the verse and a Cm from the bridge. Thanks to the others that came before me. These are the bare chords. For added effect, change your D's to Dsus4's and hammer your C's with the second finger. Intro: G D C (x2) Verse 1:
           C        C      G
When I first laid eyes on you

           Em          D      C
Well, the night just felt so odd

              C           C           G
You looked at me and the stars lined up

       Em         D          C
So I thought I'd heard from God
And I gave him my best shot Chorus:
G       D           C           G
Loving you was like throwing a lasso

 C        G         C            D
around a tornado I tried to hold on to
G D C G Took A ride on A tilt-A-whirl
              C          G              C              D
that sits on top of the world Man, I thought I could show you

         Em         D          C
I've always been afraid of flying

          C           D             G
But you can't blame a girl for trying
(Intro Chords 2x) Verse 2:
             C               C              G
Felt like a pearl when I was holding your hand

    Em      D    C
So precious I forgot

                    C              C         G
You could have any girl but I only wanted one man

             Em        D     C
And you were everything I'm not
Still I, gave it my best shot Chorus:
G       D           C           G
Loving you was like throwing a lasso

 C        G         C            D
around a tornado I tried to hold on to

G         D      C          G
Took a turn on a high trapeze

         C          G       C              D
swinging over the deep, I thought I could show you

         Em         D          C
I've always been afraid of flying

             C           Am         D
But you can't blame a girl for trying
Bridge:
C          C            G
Like a vine bends a tree to the ground

D
I won't hold you down

  C             C
I tried to climb just as high

 G                   D              C
But I found all the clouds touch the ground

         Cm
In this small town
Instr: G D C G C G D End Chorus: G F C G C
     G
Took a ride on a high trapeze swinging over the deep

   C        D
I thought I could show you

          Em           D          C
That I've always been afraid of flying

             Am         D         G
But you can't blame a girl for trying
