[Intro]
Bm G Em F#
[Verse 1]
Bm
There goes my heart again
G
All of this time I thought we were pretending
Em
Nothing looks the same when your eyes are open
F#
Now you're playing these games to keep my heartbeat spinning
Bm
You show me love, you show me love
G
You show me everything my heart is capable of
Em F# Bm
You reshape me like butterfly origami
[Chorus]
Bm
You have broken into my heart
G
This time I feel the blues have departed
Em
Nothing can keep me away from this feeling
F# Bm
I know I am simply falling for you
[Verse 2]
Bm
I'm taking time to envision where your heart is
G
And justify why you're gone for the moment
Em
I tumble sometimes, looking for sunshine
F#
And you know this is right when you look into my eyes
Bm
You show me love, you show me love
G
You show me everything my heart is capable of
Em F# Bm
And now I can't break away from this fire that we started
[Chorus]
Bm
You have broken into my heart
G
This time I feel the blues have departed
Em
Nothing can keep me away from this feeling
F# Bm
I know I am simply falling for you
[Bridge]
Bm
There my heart goes again
F#
In your arms I'm falling deeper
E (mute)
And there's nothing to break me away from this
[Chorus] (x2)
Bm
You have broken into my heart
G
This time I feel the blues have departed
Em
Nothing can keep me away from this feeling
F# Bm
I know I am simply falling for you
[Bridge]
Bm G
There my heart goes again
Em
You have broken into my heart
F# Bm
Ooh, I'm falling deeper, I'm falling deeper
[Outro]
