And it's not hard to fall When you float like a cannonball
The chorus lyrics are slightly changed towards the end and he plays the second line of it
3 times at the end, so you'll have to work out the timing for the extra lyrics, but it's
pretty basic. There's a couple of rests thrown in there, just play it a few times and
you'll see what I mean. After that, just play the intro/verse part over, it's slightly
different again, but not by much.

Lyrics (www.sing365.com):
Still a little bit of your taste in my mouth
Still a little bit of you laced with my doubt
Still a little hard to say what's going on
Still a little bit of your ghost your witness
Still a little BIT of your face I haven't kissed
You step a little closer EACH DAY
THAT I can't SAY what's going on
Stones taught me to fly
Love taught me to lie
Life taught me to die
So it's not hard to fall
When you float like a cannonball
Still a little bit of your song in my ear
Still a little bit of your words I long to hear
You step a little closer TO ME
So close that I can't see what's going on
Stones taught me to fly
Love taught me to lie
Life taught me to die
So it's not hard to fall
When you float like a cannon
Stones taught me to fly
Love taught me to cry
So come on courage!
Teach me to be shy
'Cause it's not hard to fall
And I don't WANNA scare her
It's not hard to fall
And I don't wanna lose
It's not hard to grow
When you know that you just don't know
