[Verse 1]
D Em Bm
I've been staring at the world from a tightrope
D Em Bm
Worried sick but I'm hanging on to high hopes
D Em Bm
And I'm swinging hard, always hoping that I strike gold

But you walk by and it's like you've got your eyes closed

G F#m Bm
And I don't mean to intrude
G F#m Bm
But I'm dying to reach you

D A
So can I try to be somebody you could love?

And you took my breath like water in my lungs

I would die to be somebody you could love

I never know just what to say so I keep shut
D Em Bm
It's like I'm always too afraid I'm gonna freeze up

And if I try too hard then it's too much
Bm
But if I don't start soon I'm gonna lose touch
D Em Bm
It's just the way you give me too much to choose from
