[Intro]
 
Fm9 Fm6/9 (x2)
 
 
[Verse 1]
Fm9                  Fm6/9
Will you let me come closer to you?
Fm9                Fm6/9
I know that you're older but what can I do?
Fm9            Bb13             Ebmaj7        Edim7
I leave in the morning, I'll forget that I am surely falling (Ah-ah)
Fm9            Fm6/9
Grew up in a case of fragile glass
Fm9           Fm6/9
But hammer away, it's time to crash
Fm9       Bb13             Ebmaj7      Edim7
And as it shatters let me shatter into you
 
 
[Chorus]
     Fm9
The soft candle glow
     Bb13
The music so slow
      Ebmaj7
Your skin on my skin
    Edim7
The room is spinning
Fm9
Nerve on my bone
     Bb13
I'm shaking,  oh no
     Ebmaj7
I'm talking though I shouldn't be
     Edim7
I've lost all sensibility
Fm9             Bb13*
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
                     Fm9
I've never been so fragile
 
 
[Post-Chorus]
                Fm6/9
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
                Fm9
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh (Ooh-ooh)
                Fm6/9
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh (Ooh-ooh)
 
 
[Verse 2]
Fm9         Fm6/9
It's been a year and forty days
Fm9                 Fm6/9            Fm9
Since you picked me up and swept me away
            Bb13            Ebmaj7         Edim7
I wanted to run with you into the midnight sun with you
Fm9         Fm6/9
Now I sit around and rust in rain
Fm9        Fm6/9
Turn into dust as I just wait
Fm9            Bb13              Ebmaj7            Edim7
For somеone to hold me like you did that night, I still rеmember
 
 
[Chorus]
    Fm9
The soft candle glow
    Bb13
The music so slow
      Ebmaj7
Your skin on my skin
     Edim7
The room kept spinning
 Fm9
'Round, I'm alone
    Bb13
New town on my own
    Ebmaj7
I'm missing you, I shouldn't be
     Edim7
I've lost all sensibility
Fm9              Bb13
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
                   Fm9
I've never been so fragile
                 Fm6/9
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
 Fm9            Fm6/9
Fragile oh-ooh-ooh
Fm9      Fm6/9
mmm-mmm-mmm

This is the best version I've seen online so far. Only thing is, not sure why Fm6/9 is noted as Fm9*. I've never seen that notation before but maybe that's just me.
