Verse 1

 When I first laid eyes on you

 Well, the night just felt so odd

 You looked at me and the stars lined up

 So I thought I'd heard from God

And I gave him my best shot

Chorus

Loving you was like throwing a lasso around a tornado

 I tried to hold on to

 Took a ride on a tilt-a-whirl that sits on top of the world

 Man, I thought I could show you

 I've always been afraid of flying

  (Intro Chords 2x)

But you can't blame a girl for trying

Verse 2

 Felt like a pearl when I was holding your hand

 So precious I forgot

 You could have any girl but I only wanted one man

 And you were everything I'm not

 Still I gave it my best shot

Chorus

Loving you was like throwing a lasso around a tornado

 I tried to hold on to

Took a turn on a high trapeze swinging over the deep

 I thought I could show you

 I've always been afraid of flying

 But you can't blame a girl for trying

Bridge

Like a vine bends a tree to the ground

I won't hold you down

 I tried to climb just as high

 But I found all the clouds touch the ground

 In this small town

End Chorus:

Took a ride on a high trapeze swinging over the deep

 I thought I could show you

 That I've always been afraid of flying

  (Intro Chords 4x)

But you can't blame a girl for trying

 No, you can't blame a girl.... heeeey
