[A] [F#m] [A]
[F#m] [Am] [C] [F#]
[A] [F#m] Is my world [A] not [F#m] falling [A] down?
I'm in [F#m] pieces [A] on the [F#m] ground
[D] My eyes are open and I'm standing [A] on my [F#m] knees
[A] [F#m] But [E] if crying and [D] holding on
And crying on the ground is [Bm] wrong
[A] Then I'm sorry to let you [D] down
I'm on the top of [Bm] my side of [A] town and I miss [F#m] you
[A] Turn [F#m] [Am]
[A] [F#m] me up or [A] turn me down
Turn me off or turn [F#m] me around
[D] I wish I could have met you in a place where we [A] both belong
[F#m]
[A] But [F#m] [E] if crying and [Bm] holding on
[D] And crying on the ground [Bm] is wrong
[A] Then I'm sorry to let you [D] down
I'm on the top of my side of town [A] and I miss you
[Dm]
Sometimes [G] I feel [Dm] [C] like I'm just a helpless [Am] child
[Dm]
Sometimes [G] I [Dm] [G] feel [C] like a king
[E] [A] But baby, since [Bm] I have [E]
changed
[Bm] I can't [A] take nothing [D] home
City [A] [F#m] lights at [A] a country fair
Never shine but [F#m] always glare
If [D] I'm bright enough to see you then
You're just too [A] dark to care
[F#m] But [E] if crying and [Bm] holding on
[D] And crying on the [Bm] ground is wrong
[A] Then I'm sorry to let you [D] down
I'm on the top of my side of town [A] and I miss [F#m] you
[A]
[F#m] And [Am] I miss you
[Em] Oh, and [A] I miss you
[F#m] Yeah, [Am] and I miss you
Oh, and I miss you
[A] [F#m]
