            G                    C    G 
And if it's you, you're going to love me 
            D                 Am   Em    
And if it's not, I'm going to find you 
         C                   D                   G   C D 
But if I don't, I'll have to make it work for me 
  
  
            G               C  G    
And if it's true, I'm gonna follow 
          D                     Am Em    
And if it breaks me, I'll go on broken 
              C                    D                   G    C  
I'll dream of you, but I've got to make it work for me 
  
  
             D               Em    
And when the sun sets upside down 
                     G            D          C    
And the hands of the clock go the other way 'round 
                 D                         Em    
I know that it's not what the others might see 
             G                    C 
I won't fall down from my vertigo dream 
                    D  
I found this way to fly, you see 
           Eb                F                   G     C   D 
By letting go and holding on tight to nothing at all 
  
   
            G               C   G    
And if it's you, in your magnificence 
         D                     Am     Em    
Or is it me, who thinks you're heaven sent 
     C                               D                   G   C D 
I'll follow through, but I've got to make it work for me 
  
  
            G                 C    G 
And if it's you, you're gonna love me 
            D                Am   Em    
And if it's not, then I will find you 
         C                D                   G    
But if I don't, I'm gonna make it work for me 
                            C    
Until the real thing comes along 
                  D           G   C G C 
I'm gonna make it work for me 
  
  
             D               Em    
And when the sun sets upside down 
                     G            D          C    
And the hands of the clock go the other way 'round 
                 D                         Em    
I know that it's not what the others might see 
             G                    C  
I won't fall down from my vertigo dream 
                    D  
I found this way to fly, you see  
                Eb                F                   G      C 
It's by letting go and holding on tight to nothing at all

I've got to make it work for me 
             D               Em    
And when the sun sets upside down 
                     G            D          C    
And the hands of the clock go the other way 'round 
                 D                         Em    
I know that it's not what the others might see 
             G                    C  
I won't fall down from my vertigo dream
