E                    D               E
You jumped out of an alley with surprise
                      D
in your black widow's eyes
E                  D
I was prepared to be unprepared
 E                  D
Been preparing for lies

Chorus:
Bm      G        A         Bm
I fell right in love with you
Bm       G       A        Bm
Into a thousand parts I blew
        G        A         E
I fell right in love with you

I was caught in a corner
He recoiled from a broken romance
Taking breath after once undead
I had a firm grip on my pants

Chorus:
I fell right in love with you
Through a hundred hearts you flew
I fell right in love with you

Strange that when infatuation calls
We think that we've got real love in our life
It pumps like the pressure in a station hall
As the express train thunders on by

Chorus:
I fell right in love with you
As the blood came blowing through
I fell right in love with you

Dmaj7/G            G
Across the room I saw your eyes
      Dmaj7/G           G
Black-windowed looking back at me you
Dmaj7/G          G
Held a gun as children cried,
    Dmaj7/G                  G
You touched some wires and shattered me

Chorus:
I was blown into the blue
There'd been nothing I could do
I fell right in love with you

I rose up to the station
Smelt your scent by the door
You stood waiting so patient
Just one wait, then no more

Chorus:
I fell right in love with you
There'd been nothing I could do
I fell right in love with you

Across the room
I saw your eyes
Black window looking back at me
You held a gun
As children cried
You touched some wires
They shattered me
