I’m like a crow on a wi re;
you’re the shin ing dis trac tion that makes me (C)fly.
Oh, oh, oh.
I’m like a boat on the wa ter;
you’re the rays on the waves that calm my (C)mind,
oh, ev (G)’ry time.
And I (D)know in my heart
you’re not a con stant star.
And (C)yeah, I let you use me from the (G)day that we first (Em)met, but I’m not done (C)yet
fall ing for your fool’s
gold.
(G)And (C)I knew that you turn it on for (G)ev ’ry one you (Em)met, but I don’t re (C)gret
fall ing for your fool’s
gold.
I’m the first to ad mit that I’m (C)reck less; I get lost in your beau ty, and I can’t (C)see
two feet in front of me.
And I (D)know in my heart,
you’re just a mov ing (D)part.
And
Oh, oh.
Yeah, I (D)know your love’s not real;
that’s not the way it feels.
That’s not the way it feels.
And (C)yes, I let you use me from the (G)day that we first (Em)met, but I’m not done (C)yet
fall ing for your fool’s
gold.
(G)And (C)I knew that you turn it on for (G)ev ’ry one you (Em)met, but I don’t re (C)gret
fall ing for your fool’s
gold.
Oh, oh.
Oh, oh.
