[Verse 1]
A
Good lord above I'm falling in love
D
I'm falling like a heavy black rain

And I know how it feels to be head over heels

I'm falling like an avalanche again

As beautiful as you are

As elusive as the stars
F#m D
As raging and as wild as the sea
A
As eternal as the moon

As mysterious as the womb
F#m D
You mean everything to me
[Chorus]

And heaven knows I'm so wrapped up in you
E D
So tangled up in everything you do
E D
And heaven knows it always seem to be

More like a curse than than a blessing a blessing for me

Well I have to profess I'm so obsessed

You give me everything I ask you for

As delicious as the pain that comes slowly and again

I take everything you give and still want more
