Capo on 2nd fret Verse 1 D A Moving at the speed of sound G You'd think I'd be slowing down But I'm not losing my momentum D A There are ways to turn around G So I don't crash into the ground Wish someone would invent them D Despite the pretty dress and curls A You don't throw like other girls G (let ring) You follow through D But I'll come on back A Cause I know G Though you meant to let me go D A G I could always be your boomerang D I'll come on back A You will see G That all you said got through to me D A G And I would like to be your boomerang Verse 2 Going down, no one knew I was losing altitude I should've landed, and I tried to I never took my eyes off you But I got dizzy and you threw me You were right to But I'll come on back Cause I know Though you meant to let me go I could always be your boomerang I'll come on back You will see That all you said got through to me And I would like to be your boomerang Bridge D A G I blew apart but they reattached me D A G (let ring) I'm coming in hot; hope you'll catch me D But I'll come on back A Cause I know G Though you meant to let me go D A G I could always be your boomerang D I'll come on back A You will see G That all you said got through to me D A G And I would like to be your boomerang Coda D A G Yeah, I would like to be your boomerang D A G Let me be your boomerang D A G I would like to be your boomerang End on G
