[Intro]
Am7 D9 Gmaj7
Am7 D9 Gmaj7
[Verse 1]
Am7 D9
Moved out to a new city
Gmaj7
June is dawning down on me
Am7 D9 Gmaj7
And all that I can find
Am7 D9
A sickly romance in the air
Bm7 E9 Bm Bbm7 Am7
Lovers stroll without a care in sight
D9
Ooh, this can't be right
[Chorus]
Am7 D9
'Cause the sun's engaged to the sky
Gmaj7
And my best friend's found a new guy
Am7 D9
I'm only getting older
Bm7 E9 Am7
I've never had a shoulder to cry on
D9 C#9 C9 B9 E+
Someone to call... mine...
Am7 D9 Gmaj7
Everybody's falling in love and I'm falling behind
[Post-chorus]
Am7 D9 Gmaj7
Am7 D9 Gmaj7
hmmm's x2
[Verse 2]
Am7 D9
Touched the ocean, fell right in
Gmaj7
Stepped outside and burned my skin
Am7 D9
My life won't go
Gmaj7
my way
Am7 D9
Bossa nova in my room
Bm7 E9 Bm Bbm7 Am7
Hope that I'll find someone too to love
D9
Because
[Chorus]
Am7 D9
The sun's engaged to the sky
Gmaj7
And my best friend's found a new guy
Am7 D9
I'm only getting older
Bm7 E9 Am7
I've never had a shoulder to cry on
D9 C#9 C9 B9 E+
Someone to call mine...
Am7 D9 Gmaj7
Everybody's falling in love and I'm falling behind
[Post-chorus]
Am7 D9
Everybody's falling in love
Bm7 E9 Bm7 Bbm7 Am7
Everybody's falling in love, oh...
D9 D7b9 Gmaj7
Everybody's falling in love... but me
