And, ba by, it’s a long cy way down.

If I (Ab)fall,

can you let me down (Db)eas y?

If I leave my heart with you to night, will you prom ise me that you’re gon na treat it right?

I’m bare ly hang in’ (Db)on.

So If I (Gb)fall,

can you let me down (Ab)eas y?

The scent of your (Ab)per fume

float in’ in (Fm)the air,

look in’ like an (Ab)an gel ly in’ on a blan ket with a ha lo of (Fm)hair.

And those to lips

look too good to be true.

Once I’m I taste that the kiss, I know giv in’ what ’ll hap pen.

I’ll be by, at the mer cy of you.

If I (Ab)fall,

Let me down (Ab)eas y.
