No PDF chord sheet exists for this lesson
As of now, I haven't made a printable PDF to accompany this video lesson. If you'd like to request that I make one, shoot me an email. I can't guarantee I'll make a PDF for every older lesson, but it's helpful to know which lessons have the most interest.
Here's a list of the 200+ lessons I have made PDFs for.
Lyrics w/ chords
(capo 7 fret)
INTRO
C ... Am7 ... Em ... G ...
C ... Am7 ... Em ... F ...
VERSE
C Am7 Em Em
I was just coasting, never really goin anywhere
C Am7 Em Em
Caught up in a web I was gettin kinda used to staying there
C Am7 Em Em
And out------ of the blue
C Am7 Em G (let ring)
I------------ fell for you
(no chord) C Am7
Now you're lifting me up, instead of holding me down
Em G
Stealing my heart instead of stealing my crown
C Am7 Em F
Untangled all the strings around my wings that were tied
C Am7
I didn't know him and I didn't know me
Em G
Cloud nine was always out of reach
C Am7 Em G
Now I remember what it feels like to fly
C Am7 Em F
You give me butterflies
C Am7 Em Em
Kiss full of color makes me wonder where you've always been
C Am7 Em Em
I was hiding in doubt till you brought me out of my chrysalis
C Am7 Em Em
And I----------- came out new
C Am7 Em G
All------------- because of you
Now you're lifting me up instead of holding me down
Stealing my heart instead of stealing my crown
Untangled all the strings round my wings that were tied
I didn't know him and I didn't know me
Cloud nine was always out of reach
Now I remember what it feels like to fly
C Am7 Em G
You give me butterflies
C Am7 Em F
Yeah, you give me butterflies
BRIDGE
Dm ... Dm ... Am7 ... G ...
Dm ... Dm ... F ... Fm ...
