INTRO: E Esus E Esus E

I am [E]fragile in the morning, I grow stronger in the day
I can sprint like a new spring doe by the fall of the n[A]ight
Oh, and l[E]ove has chased me down, through the cities and the towns
Until I stood beside the road and let it pa[A]ss me by
Like a [B/D#]fool, I've missed the rain 'cause I [E]was cryin[(Esus]'.[E][)]

Then you are [A/E]calling - [B/E]call my heart awake from years[E] of slumber
And then I'm [A/E]falling like a [B/E]child head over heel in fields[E] of summer.

But can you [A]hold me though I [B]am inclined to leave my home and [E]wander?
Oh, can you [Asus2]keep me like a c[B]hild head over heel in fields[E] of summer?
[A]Fi[B]-elds of [E]summer - [A]fi[B]-elds of [E]summer
I am f[Asus2]alling like a [B]child head over heel in fields[E] of summer.

And [E]now that you have caught me, are you sure you really want me
Though I'm fragile as December on your s[D/A]houlder in the [A]dawn?
And when the [E]day has made me stronger, can you satisfy my hunger
When the night has come and I would race the [A]moon across the sky?
Would you [B]chase me through those open fields[E] of summer?


And you are calling - call my heart awake from years of slumber
And I am falling like a child head over heel in fields of summer.

But can you hold me though I am inclined to leave my home and wander?
Oh, can you keep me like a child head over heel in fields of summer?
Fields of summer (yeah) - fields of summer
I am falling like a child head over heel in fields of summer.

Can you [A]hold me - [B]hold me - [E]hold me?
Can you [A]hold me - [B]hold me - [E]hold me?
I am f[A]alling like a [B]child head over heel in fields[E] of summer.
