FALLING SHORT by  JEFF BRIDGES
     G7Am I falling short   Cor do I fly
     B7While I miss the mark   Edo I hit the sky
    G7And in my wondering    Cdo I answer why
    B7I´m aliveE  
   To make a space - bushwhack a path -
   Leave a sign - dodge the wrath
                               D           A           D  E+  E  
Of myself and leave the math to God
(go on as above)
Falling short i´ve hit the spot
Of the place where I was shot
From the womb of my mother
I´ve fallen short but is there another
Place where DI could AbeD  
                  E+              E  
Is short just the place for me to see
What I can Bdo
What I´ve been Egiven
My Bholy view of hell an Aheaven
Am I falling short or do I fly
While I miss the mark do I hit the sky
In my wondering do I answer why
I´m alive
I´m alive
I´m alive
