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
