When Emma falls in love, she paces the floor, closes the blinds and locks the door

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

She waits and takes her time, ’cause little Miss Sunshine always thinks it's gonna

 rain

    |Em                                      |A                |
When Emma falls in love, I know that boy will never be the same

      |G                     D                   |A   |
'Cause she's the kind of book  that you can't put down
       |G         D                 |A   |
Like if Cleopatra grew up in a small town

And all the bad boys would be good boys, if they only had a chance to love her
      |C                                     |G      |
And to tell you the truth, sometimes I wish I was her

When Emma falls in love, it's all on her face, hangs in the air like stars in outer

    |D                   A                     |Em                    G                  |
When Emma falls in love, she disappears, and we all just laugh, after seeing it all these

    |D                      A                    |Em                    G              |
When Emma falls apart, it's when she's alone, she takes on the pain and bears it on her

         |Em           G                 |Asus4            |G    Asus4   |
She won't walk away, unless she knows she absolutely has to leave

      |G                     D                   |A   |
'Cause she's the kind of book  that you can't put down

Like if Cleopatra grew up in a small town
           |G                 D                 |A                            |
And all the bad boys would be good boys, if they only had a chance to love her
       |C                                     |G      |
And, to tell you the truth, sometimes I wish I was her

           |Em         |G                          |D                                |A    |
Well, she's so New York when she's in LA, she won't lose herself in love the way that I did
             |Em                  |G                          |Em            D/F#   |
'Cause she'll call you out, she'll put you in your place, when Emma falls in love,

 Emma met a boy with eyes like a man, turns out her heart fits right in the palm of his

   |D                    A                    |Em                      G               |
Now he'll be her shelter when it rains, little does he know, his whole world's about to

|D       A    |Em    G    |
   change

      |G                     D                   |A   |
'Cause she's the kind of book  that you can't put down
       |G         D                 |A   |
Like if Cleopatra grew up in a small town

And all the bad boys would be good boys, if they only had a chance to love her
      |C                                     |G      |
