[Verse 1]
Em7                   Cadd9         G           G/F#
There's still a little bit of your taste, in my mouth
Em7                   Cadd9         G             G/F#
There's still a little bit of you laced, with my doubt
Em7                Cadd9     G   G/F#          Am7    C/B  C  D
It's still a little hard to say,     what's going on
 
[Verse 2]
Em7                   Cadd9         G            G/F#
There's still a little bit of your ghost, your witness
Em7                    Cadd9         G              G/F#
There's still a little bit of your face, I haven't kissed
Em7                Cadd9      G         G/F#                          Am7    C/B  C  D
You step a little closer each day,       that i can't say what's going on
 
 
[Chorus]
G     Cadd9/G         D
Stones taught me to fly
G    Cadd9/G       D
Love taught me to lie
G   Cadd9/G        D
Life taught me to die
             Am7                   Cadd9         D      Em7
So it's not hard to fall, when you float like a cannonball
 
[Interlude]
Em7  Cadd9  G   G/F#  x3
Am7  C/B  C  D
 
[Verse 3]
Em7                   Cadd9         G      G/F#
There's still a little bit of your song, in my ear
Em7                   Cadd9         G       G/F#
There's still a little bit of your words, I long to hear
Em7               Cadd9     G          G/F#                       Am7    C/B  C  D
You step a little closer to me, so close that I can't see what's going on
 
[Chorus 2]
G     Cadd9/G         D
Stones taught me to fly
G     Cadd9/G       D
Love taught me to lie
G     Cadd9/G      D
Life taught me to die
             Am7                   Cadd9           D
So it's not hard to fall, when you float like a cannon...
 
G     Cadd9/G         D
Stones taught me to fly
G     Cadd9/G      D
Love taught me to cry
G                  Cadd9/G         D
So come on courage teach me to be shy
                Am7              Cadd9           D
Cause it's not hard to fall, and I don't wanna scare her
          Am7                Cadd9        D
It's not hard to fall, and I don't wanna lose
          Am7                   Cadd9          D              G
It's not hard to grow, when you know that you just don't know
 
[Outro]
