Intro -x2-: EbBbVerse 1:
Eb
Standing in the open light
Bb
Within the swelter of the night
FBb
I found myself staring at you
Eb
And every time our fingers touched
Bb
I felt like it would be too much
FBb
And too little to hang onto
Refrain:
EbF
I cannot fall in love with you
BbGm
I cannot feel this way so soon, so soon
CmF
I cannot be this way with you
BbGm
I cannot fall in love with you
Chorus:
Cm
I knew it when you looked my way
F
That I'd be begging you to stay
Bb
I couldn't say it to myself
Gm
I couldn't say it to myself
Cm
I felt it burning in the way
F
I held on when you pulled away
Bb
I couldn't say it to myself
Gm
I couldn't say it to myself
CmF
I couldn't say it
Bb
I couldn't just say it
Verse 2:
Eb
And every evening, every time
Bb
I keep replaying in my mind
FBb
And wondering if you do the same
Eb
And if it makes you lose your breath
Bb
And if it makes you just forget
FBb
That all of it's a bit insane
Refrain:
EbF
I cannot fall in love with you

I cannot be this way with you
