[Verse]
    G        A      D     Bm 
She held the world upon a string 
    G          A    D 
But she didn't ever hold me 
G        A            D     Bm 
Spun the stars on her fingernails 
       G     A        D 
But it never made her happy 
          G        A    D 
Cause she couldn't ever have me 
    G                  A    D          Bm 
She said she'd won the world at a carnival 
    G         A     D 
But she could never win me 
          G        A    D 
Cause she couldn't ever catch me
[Chorus]
G         A 
I, I know why 
        F#7 
Because when I look in her eyes 
       Bm      A   G 
I just see the sky 
                   G 
When I look in her eyes 
     A               D 
Well I, just see the sky.  
D                         Bm 
I don't love you I'm just passing the time 
D                      Bm 
You could love me if I knew how to lie 
    A 
But who could love me? 
     G 
I am out of my mind 
G                      A 
Throwing a line out to sea 
   G                    A     D 
To see if I can catch a dream.

[Verse]
    G       A      D      Bm 
The sun was always in her eyes 
G          A    D 
She didn't even see me 
G         A        D       Bm 
 But that girl had so much love 
      G     A                D 
she'd wanna kiss you all the time 
      G           A                D 
Yeah, she'd wanna kiss you all the time
[Verse]
    G                A    D          Bm 
She said she won the world at a carnival 
        G             A    D 
But I'm sure I didn't ruin her 
     G             A    D 
Just made her more interesting 
    G             A    D 
I'm sure I didn't ruin her 
     G             A    D 
Just made her more interesting
[Chorus]
G         A 
I, I know why 
        F#7 
Because when I look in her eyes 
       Bm      A   G 
I just see the sky 
                   G 
When I look in her eyes 
     A               D 
Well I, just see the sky.  
D                         Bm 
I don't love you I'm just passing the time 
D                      Bm 
You could love me if I knew how to lie 
    A 
But who could love me? 
     G 
I am out of my mind 
G                      A 
Throwing a line out to sea 
   G                    A     D 
To see if I can catch a dream.
