Owl City - Under the Circus Lights: chords

A#     D#          Gm   F         A#             D#
Once upon a summer, a travelling circus came to town
          F           G
From the land down under
A#         D#          Gm
And I was filled with wonder
     F          D#           F       Gm
When I saw the girl on the flying trapeze
                 D#             F         A#
Tear through the air with the greatest of ease

I got cotton candy
And then in the daze, I met her gaze
And she winked right at me
And my heart pounded madly
When I saw the girl on the flying trapeze
Capture the crowd with the greatest of ease

Chorus:
C          Gm         F         C
She was a light in a dark lullaby
               A#          F      C
That girl was raised by a butterfly
             Gm            F           D#      Dm
I swear when I caught her eye, I could almost fly
    G#         D#     A#
And under the circus lights
             G#        D#        A#
I must have fallen in love that night

Lighter than a feather
But careful as with a heavy heart
She seemed to fall forever
And then I wondered whether
I noticed the girl on the flying trapeze
Blink back a tear with the greatest of ease
And she took my breath away
Oh, so grand and graceful
Confetti rained as she climbed through the air
Like a homesick angel
She makes heartache painful
I thought as the girl on the flying trapeze
Melted my heart with the greatest of ease

Chorus:
What a display of rosé poetry
What a majestic menagerie
I swear when I caught her eye, I could almost fly
And under the circus lights
I must have fallen in love that night

                          C
(And she took my breath away)
       F     Am
I was so enamored
G                        C
(And she took my breath away)
           F         G
All that glitz and glamor
          Am             C
(And she took my breath away)
       F     Am
I was so enamored
      G             F           G         Am
And that’s how the girl on the flying trapeze
                   F             G           C
Knocked me off my feet with the greatest of ease

And then with a charming sweetness
She smiled and waved and took a bow
For a crowd stunned speechless
And I was charmed to pieces
When the girl on the flying trapeze
Magically dissolved like a song on the breeze
And simply broke my heart with the greatest of ease

Chorus:
We shook the floor with a roar of applause
She seemed to drown in the oohs and aahs
I hung around 'til the clowns
Tore the big top down
And soon it was almost dawn
I looked and looked but the girl was gone

Deep down, I felt kinda blue for a day or two
Then clear as a bell, I knew
I would run away with the circus too
