G
I was just coastin'
Em                 Bm
Never really goin' anywhere
G
Caught up in a web
      Em                     Bm
I was gettin' kinda used to stayin' there

    G   Em         Bm
And o-o-out of the blue
G   Em         Bm  D
I-I-I fell for you

Chorus:
                      G                        Em
Now you're lifting me up 'stead of holding me down
             Bm                           D
Stealin' my heart 'stead of stealin' my crown
   G                                 Em
Untangled all the strings 'round my wings that
      Bm C
were tied
               G                    Em
I didn't know him and I didn't know me
      Bm                       D
Cloud nine was always out of reach
G                       Em            Bm  D
Now I remember what it feels like to fly
                    G  Em Bm C
You give me butterflies

Kiss full of color makes me wonder
where you've always been
I was hiding in doubt 'til you brought
me out of my chrysalis
And I came out new
All because of you

Chorus:
And now, you're lifting me up
stead of holding me down
Stealing my heart 'stead of stealing my crown
Untangled all the strings 'round
my wings that were tied
I didn't know him and I didn't know me
Cloud Nine was always out of reach
Now, I remember what it feels like to fly
You give me butterflies, yeah
You give me butterflies
Ooh, mmm, mmm

Now, you're lifting me up 'stead
of holding me down
You're taking my hand 'stead of taking my crown
Untangled all the strings 'round
my wings that were tied
I didn't know him and I didn't know me
Cloud Nine was always out of reach
Now, I remember what it feels like to fly
You give me butterflies
You give me butterflies
