When Emma Falls in Love

[Intro] D  A  Em  G
        D  A  Em  G

[First Part]

     D                       A
When Emma falls in love, she paces 
the floor
Em                    G
Closes the blinds and locks the door

( D  A  Em  G )

     D                       A
When Emma falls in love, she calls 
up her mom
Em                        G
Jokes about the ways that this one 
could go wrong

( D  A  Em  G )

  D                  A
She waits and takes her time
                   Em              
'Cause little miss sunshine always 
 G                D   A Em G
thinks it's gonna rain
     Em                            
When Emma falls in love, I know 
       A
that boy will never be the same

[Chorus]

       G                     D    
'Cause she's the kind of book that
               A
 you can't put down
        G         D               
Like if Cleopatra grew up in a 
    A
small town
            G                  D
And all the bad boys would be good 
boys
        A
If they only had a chance to love 
her
       C                           
And to tell you the truth, 
           G
sometimes I wish I was her

[Second Part]

     D                        A
When Emma falls in love, it's all on
 her face
Em                    G          
Hangs in the air like stars in 
     D   A   Em   G
outer space
     D                      A
When Emma falls in love, she 
disappears
       Em                 G       
And we all just laugh after seein'
       D            A  Em  G
 it all these years
     D                      A
When Emma falls apart, it's when 
she's alone
    Em                    G       
She takes on the pain and bears it
        D   A  Em  G
 on her own
            D                      
'Cause when Emma falls in love 
  A
she's in it for keeps
          Em          G
She won't walk away unless she knows
    A           G      A
She absolutely has to leave

[Chorus]

       G                     D    
'Cause she's the kind of book that
                A
 you can't put down
        G         D               
Like if Cleopatra grew up in a 
   A
small town
            G                 D
And all the bad boys would be good 
boys
        A
If they only had a chance to love 
her
       C                           
And to tell you the truth, 
           G
sometimes I wish I was her

[Bridge]

            Em               G
Well, she's so New York when she's 
in L.A
          D                        
She won't lose herself in love the 
         A
way that I did
              Em                   
'Cause she'll call you out, she'll 
G
put you in your place
     Em            D      C
When Emma falls in love, I'm 
learning

[Third Part]

D                   A
Emma met a boy with eyes like a man
Em                       G
Turns out her heart fits right in 
the
          D      A Em G
Palm of his hand
     D                    A
Now he'll be her shelter when it 
rains
     Em                   G 
Little does he know his whole 
                   D A Em G
world's about to change

[Chorus]

G                     D          
'Cause she's the kind of book 
                A
that you can't put down
        G         D               
Like if Cleopatra grew up in a 
   A
small town
            G                 D
And all the bad boys would be good 
boys
        A
If they only had a chance to love 
her
       C                           
And to tell you the truth, 
           G
sometimes I wish I was her
        Em               D        
Yeah, between me and you, 
           G
sometimes I wish I was her
