(intro 2x) D  E  A  D/F#  D  E  A

    D         E     A      D/F#
She held the world upon a string
     D         E    A
But she didn't ever hold me
D         E          A       D/F#
Spun the stars on her fingernails
       D      E       A
But it never made her happy
          D        E    A
Cause she couldn't ever have me
     Bm                  E
She said she won the world at a carnival
    D         E     A
But she could never win me
          D        E    A
Cause she couldn't ever catch me
D/F#      E
I, I know why
        Faug
Because when I look in her eyes
       F#m      E   D
I just see the sky
When I look in her eyes
      E                 A
Well I, just see the sky
                           A7+
I don't love you I'm just passing the time
A                      A7+
You could love me if I knew how to lie
A
But who could love me?
         D
I am out of my mind
                         C#m
Throw an old line out to sea
    D                   C#m E
To see if I can catch a dream

    D       E      A      D/F#
The sun was always in her eyes
 D         E    A
She didn't even see me
D       E         A      D/F#
But that girl had so much love
    D       E           A
she'd wanna kiss you all the time
      D          E       A
Yeah, she'd wanna kiss you all the time

She said she won the world at a carnival
       D               E     A
But I'm sure it didn't ruin her
     D             E     A
Just made her more interesting
