[Intro]
Eb Bb x2

[Verse 1]
Eb
Standing in the open light
Bb
Within the swelter of the night
F Bb
I found myself staring at you
Eb
And every time our fingers touched
Bb
I felt like it would be too much
F Bb
And too little to hang onto

[Refrain]
Eb F
I cannot fall in love with you
Bb Gm
I cannot feel this way so soon, so soon
Cm F
I cannot be this way with you
Bb Gm
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
Cm F
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
F Bb
And wondering if you do the same
Eb
And if it makes you lose your breath
Bb
And if it makes you just forget
F Bb
That all of it’s a bit insane

[Refrain]
Eb F
I cannot fall in love with you
Bb Gm
I cannot feel this way so soon
Cm F
I cannot be this way with you
Bb Gm
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
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
Cm F
I couldn’t say it
Bb Gm
I couldn’t just say it

[Outro]
Eb F
But I cannot fall in love with you
Bb Gm
I cannot feel this way so soon, so soon
Cm F
I cannot be this way with you
Bb Gm
I cannot fall in love with you
