[Intro]
Em Cmaj7 Bm

[Verse 1]
Em
I’ve always been the one to say the first goodbye
Cmaj7                            Bm
Had to love and lose a hundred million times
Em                                                       Cmaj7
Had to get it wrong to know just what I like
Bm
Now I’m falling
Em
You say my name like I have never heard before
Cmaj7                                                       Bm
I’m indecisive, but, this time, I know for sure
Em                                                       Cmaj7
I hope I’m not the only one that feels it all
Bm
Are you falling?

[Pre-Chorus]
C
Centre of attention
D                                                                       Bm
You know you can get whatever you want from me
Em                                     D
Whenever you want it, baby
C
It’s you in my reflection
D                                                            Bm
I’m afraid of all the things you could do to me
If I would’ve known it, baby

[Chorus]
Em
I would’ve stayed at home
‘Cause I was doing better alone
Cmaj7
But when you said, “Hello”
Bm
I knew that was the end of it all
Em
I should’ve stayed at home
‘Cause now there ain’t no letting you go
Cmaj7                                                 Bm
Am I falling in love with the one that could break my heart?
Em
Oh no, I was doing better alone
Cmaj7
But when you said, “Hello”
Bm
I knew that was the end of it all
Em
I should’ve stayed at home
‘Cause now there ain’t no letting you go
Cmaj7                                                                         Bm
Am I falling in love with the one that could break my heart?
Em

[Verse 2]
Em
I wonder, when you go, if I stay on your mind
Cmaj7                                                 Bm
Two can play that game, but you win me every time
Em                                                   Cmaj7
Everyone before you was a waste of time
Bm
Yeah, you got me
