Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
(note  that  some  C2's  are added here (lift second finger))
 When I first laid eyes  on you
 Well,  the night just felt so  odd
 You looked at me and the stars lined up
 So I thought  I'd heard  from God
 And I gave him my best shot
Loving  you was  like throwing  a lasso  around  a tornado
 I tried  to hold  on to
 Took  a ride  on a tilt-a-whirl  that sits on top  of the world
 Man, I thought  I could show  you
 I've always  been afraid  of flying
   (Intro Chords 2x)
 But you can't blame a girl for trying
 Felt like a pearl  when I was holding your hand
 So precious I  forgot
 You could have any girl  but I only wanted one  man
 And you were  everything I'm not
 Still I gave it my best shot
Loving  you was  like throwing  a lasso  around  a tornado
 I tried  to hold  on to
Took  a turn  on a  high trapeze  swinging over  the deep
 I  thought I could  show you
 I've always  been afraid  of flying
 But you can't  blame a girl for trying
Like  a vine bends a tree to  the ground
I  won't hold you down
 I tried  to climb just as high
 But I  found all the clouds  touch the ground
 In this small  town
 Instr:  x2
 End Chorus:
Took  a ride  on a high  trapeze  swinging  over the deep
 I thought  I could  show you
 That I've always  been afraid  of flying
   (Intro Chords 4x)
 But you can't blame a girl for trying
 No, you can't blame a girl.... heeeey
