[Gb] [Ab]
[Gb] [Ab]
[Bb] What a [Dm] change [Gm] you've made me
[Eb] I can't [Dm] get the chill off of my [Gm] back
I can't [Eb] keep my heart from going pitter [F]-pat
[Dm] It's a shame no [Gm] one could [Eb] ever see
[Bb] They'll [Bbm] just have to feel it to [Ebm] believe
[Abm] But I know that it's real
[Gb] From the very first [Ebm] time I [Abm] saw you
[Gb] And I felt [Ebm] myself floating [Abm] on air
For [Bbm] the very [Ebm] first time I [Abm] knew
I was [Ebm] falling [E] in love
[B]
[Dm] Oh, my hands [Gm] keep trying to [Eb] find me
Cause [Dm] when you look into [Gm] my eyes
I [Cm] can't seem to get a hold [Eb] of myself
[F] [Dm] And my only [Gm]
[Eb] alibi is
[F] [Bbm] That I'm [Ebm] absolutely sure beyond [Abm] the doubt
This is real
[Gb] From the very first [Ebm] time I [Abm] met you, girl
[Gb] And my heart [Ebm] sailed around the [Abm] moon
[B] For [Bbm] the very first [Ebm] time I [Abm] knew
I was [Ebm] falling in [E] love
[B] For [C] [G]
[Em] [Am] [G]
[Em] [Am] [E] [Bm] the very first [Em] time I knew
[Am] [C] I was falling [D] in [Eb] love
[G] Knew I was falling
[A] [G]
[A] [G] in love
[A] [G]
[A] Knew I was falling [Dm] [A] in love
