Balance Beam Blue October
[G] [A6/7sus] [C] [Em] [D]
VERSE 1
I haven't been quite the [G]same
[A6/7sus]So sure the s[C]tory of my l[Em]ife would never change[D]
But in a bright-[G]eyed way, she[A6/7sus] rinsed out the [C]soap in my eyes
And wrote a [Em]song that I'm about to sing [D]
She's a m[G]agnetic girl [A6/7sus] [C]
That I [Em]hardly even know [D]
So this is [G]not another love song [A6/7sus] [C]
Just a [Em]list of things that I should know
[D] And everyone should know that:
CHORUS
[G] One. You got to take it kind of slowly
[C] Two. You got to hurry up and make your move
[G] Three. You got to tell her how you're feeling [D] [C]
[G] And four. You got to be the perfect gentleman.
When [C]you shake the walls, you got to make 'em be[G]nd, yeah
You got to show her that [D]she's the balance beam
And I keep falling all around her fairy [G]tale
[A6/7sus] [C] her fairy [Em]tale [D]
(The chords are the same a 1st verse above)
We took a walk in the rain.
I suggested, she confess
There's a heart nearby to cast the shame.
Stay cool, but I'm giddy like a school boy.
You got to handle with care this is not a toy.
Then gradually we touched.
And though our clothes were wet, we sat and smiled.
I never thought I'd smile so much
The first kiss always says the most
REPEAT CHORUS

The A6/7sus or A6/7sus4 can be played differently depending on
how you want it to sound or if the above option is to difficult.
e|--0--| e|--2--| e|--0--| B|--3--| B|--3--| B|--3--| G|--0--| G|--0--| G|--0--| D|--4--| D|--2--| D|--4--| A|--5--| A|--0--| A|--5--| E|--5--| or E|--X--| or E|--X--|
Personally I play it like the 3rd option above just beause its
easier to slide down to the "C" without having to change my hand
position.
Have fun!
