  One two three four fDmive six seven
the Amword came down to hDmim from heaven
and Amnaked as an Bbanimal, he kAm7new:
Ameverything of fDmlesh and bone
Amhe could call it Dmall his own
if Amhe could name it, he could Bblay claim to it, Am7too
but Dmafter all the wAmord was spoken
you Dmsent him out inAmto the open
Bball alone to Dmmake his broken pGromise whole again
Ameight nine ten Dmeleven twelve
Amdid you see how Dmfar he fell?
Amdid you watch him cBbovering his Dmbody in his shGame?
and wanting you nEmear him
though you couldn’t Amhear him
he was fDmalling down with Gyour name in his mouth
a Amthousand thousand Dmyears pass through me
Amstoned on lonelinDmess and movies
where pAmeople make their Bblove in foreign tongueAm7s
Amevery family lDmocks their door
Amevery man in uDmniform
Amreminds me of the Bbbody of my own onAm7e
Dmi knew you befAmore i met you
Dmi’ve forgotten wAmhy i left you
Bball i wanna do is Dmget back into yGour good grace
Amcall you by your hDmundred names
Amtill it makes you Dmmine again
Amtill i get my wBbill back in this Dmgodforsaken pGlace
i want you nEmear me
i know you can’t Amhear me, now
but i’m fDmalling down with Gyour name
i want you nEmear me
i wish you could Amhear me, now
while i’m fDmalling down with Gyour name in my mouth

One two three four five six seven

Am Dm

the word came down to him from heaven

Am Bb Am7

and naked as an animal, he knew:

Am Dm

everything of flesh and bone

Am Dm

he could call it all his own

Am Bb Am7

if he could name it, he could lay claim to it, too

Dm Am

but after all the word was spoken

Dm Am

you sent him out into the open

Bb Dm G

all alone to make his broken promise whole again

Am Dm

eight nine ten eleven twelve

Am Dm

did you see how far he fell?

Am Bb Dm G

did you watch him covering his body in his shame?

and wanting you near him

though you couldn’t hear him

Dm G

he was falling down with your name in his mouth

Am Dm

a thousand thousand years pass through me

Am Dm

stoned on loneliness and movies

Am Bb Am7

where people make their love in foreign tongues

Am Dm

every family locks their door

Am Dm

every man in uniform

Am Bb Am7

reminds me of the body of my own one

Dm Am

i knew you before i met you

Dm Am

i’ve forgotten why i left you

Bb Dm G

all i wanna do is get back into your good grace

Am Dm

call you by your hundred names

Am Dm

till it makes you mine again

Am Bb Dm G

till i get my will back in this godforsaken place

i want you near me

i know you can’t hear me, now

Dm G

but i’m falling down with your name

i want you near me

i wish you could hear me, now

Dm G

while i’m falling down with your name in my mouth
