Blue October - Balance Beam: chords

D                         G
I haven't been quite the same,
              C          Em                    D
so sure the story of my life would never change
And in a bright eyed way
I rinsed out the soap in my eyes
And wrote a song that I'm about to sing
'Cause it's about a girl that I hardly even know
So this is not another love song
Just a list of things that I should know
And everyone should know that

Chorus:
G
One: You've got to take it kind of slowly
C
Two: You've got to hurry up and make your move
G                                          D   C
Three: You've got to tell her that she's pretty
G
Four: You've got to be the perfect gentleman
C
When you shake the wall, you've got to make it bend
G                               D
Yeah you're got to show her that
she's a balance beam
                                         G
And I keep falling all around her fairy tale.

We took a walk in the rain
I suggested, she confessed that
There's a heart nearby to cast some shade
Stay cool, but I'm giddy like a schoolboy
You've got to handle with care, this is not a toy
Gradually, we touched
Although our clothes were wet, we sat and smiled
I never thought I'd smile so much
The first kiss always says the most

Chorus

Oh, this fairy tale, I wanna sing to you

And everyone should know that

Chorus

Fairy tale, some kind of fairy tale
Some kind of fairy tale
And everyone should know that
