Welcome to this Falling Like The Stars Guitar Tutorial by James Arthur!
This song is an amazing love ballad and is sure to be played at many weddings in future years to come! Musically speaking it’s a very simple song with one main chord progression throughout. It’s a great one for beginners to learn. In the video I teach you 2 different ways of playing the song.
- Fingerpicked version (studio version)
- Easy strummed version (great for beginners)
You can ofcourse mix the two together as you please and that’s what I do in the playthrough at the end of the video.
My good friend @emilebattourmusic has lended his incredible vocals for this song. Check him out on instagram.
Enjoy! Like this #fallinglikethestars video by #jamesarthur and subscribe to the channel for more videos in the future!

I swear to God, when I come home

I'm gonna hold you so close

And I need you to know

I swear to God, I can see

Four kids and no sleep
Fsus2 C
We'll have one on each knee, you and me, hmm

And when they've grown up

You're still the girl in the club
Fsus2 C
When I held your hair up, 'cause you had too much
[Chorus]

And I need you to know
Am7
That we're falling so fast
Fsus2 C
We're falling like the stars, falling in love

We're falling in love

'Cause without you, babe, I lose my way

Oh, I'm in love, oh, I'm in love, oh, I'm in love

Oh, I'm in love, oh, I'm in love, oh, I'm in love (Falling like the stars)

And I need you to know

That we're falling so fast
