Key : C
[Intro]
C Em x2
[Verse 1]
C
Standing in the open light
Em
Within the swelter of the night
D Em
I found myself staring at you
C
And every time our fingers touched
Em
I felt like it would be too much
D Em
And too little to hang onto
[Pre-chorus]
C D
I cannot fall in love with you
G Em
I cannot feel this way so soon, so soon
Am D
I cannot be this way with you
B7 Em Em/F# Em/G Em/A
I cannot fall in love with you
[Chorus]
Am
I knew it when you looked my way
D
That I'd be begging you to stay
G
I couldn't say it to myself
Em
I couldn't say it to myself
Am
I felt it burning in the way
D
I held on when you pulled away
G
I couldn't say it to myself
Em
I couldn't say it to myself
Am D
I couldn't say it
G
Why couldn't I say it
[Verse 2]
C
And every evening, every time
Em
I keep replaying in my mind
D Em
And wondering if you do the same
C
And if it makes you lose your breath
Em
And if it makes you just forget
D Em
That all of it's a bit insane
[Pre-chorus]
C D
I cannot fall in love with you
G Em
I cannot feel this way so soon
Am D
I cannot be this way with you
B7 Em Em/F# Em/G Em/A
I cannot fall in love with you
[Chorus]
Am
I knew it when you looked my way
D
That I'd be begging you to stay
G
I couldn't say it to myself
Em
I couldn't say it to myself
Am
I felt it burning in the way
D
I held on when you pulled away
G
I couldn't say it to myself
Em
I couldn't say it to myself
Am7
Ooh
D
Ooh
Gmaj7
I couldn't say it
Em
I couldn't... I couldn't say it, say it
Am7
... Mmh
D
Felt it in the way
Gmaj7
I couldn't say it
Em
I couldn't say it
Am7 D
...
Gmaj7 Em
How couldn't I say it
[Outro]
Am D
But I cannot fall in love with you
G Em
I cannot feel this way so soon, so soon
Am7 D
I cannot be this way with you
B7 N.c.
I cannot fall in love with you
