Intro
[E] - - -| [C#m] - [A] [B]
Verse 1
[E]
Maybe I came on too strong
[C#m] [A] [B]
Maybe I waited too long
[E]
Maybe I played my cards wrong
Oh, just a little bit wrong
[C#m] [A] [B]
Baby I apologize for it
Pre-Chorus
[A] [C#m]
I could fall, or I could fly
[G#m]
Here in your aeroplane
And I could live, I could die
[A]
Hanging on the words you say
[A] [C#m]
And I’ve been known to give my all
And jumping in harder than
[B]
Ten thousand rocks on the lake
Chorus
[E]
So don’t call me baby
[C#m] [A]
Unless you mean it
[B] [E]
Don’t tell me you need me
[C#m]
If you don’t believe it
[A] [B]
So let me know the truth
[C#m] [B] [B/D#] [E]
Before I dive right into you
Verse 2
[E]
You’re a mystery
[C#m] [A] [B]
I have travelled the world, there’s no other girl like you
[E]
No one, what’s your history?
[C#m]
Do you have a tendency to lead some people on?
[A] [B]
‘Cause I heard you do, mm
Pre-Chorus
[A] [C#m]
I could fall, or I could fly
[G#m]
Here in your aeroplane
And I could live, I could die
[A]
Hanging on the words you say
[A] [C#m]
And I’ve been known to give my all
And lie awake, every day
[B]
Don't know how much I can take
Chorus
[E]
So don’t call me baby
[C#m] [A]
Unless you mean it
[B] [E]
Don’t tell me you need me
[C#m]

I could fall, or I could fly
[G#m]
Here in your aeroplane
And I could live, I could die
[A]
Hanging on the words you say
[A] [C#m]
And I’ve been known to give my all
Sitting back, looking at
[B]
Every mess that I've made
Chorus

So don’t call me baby
[C#m] [A]
Unless you mean it
[B] [E]
Don’t tell me you need me

Before I dive right into you
