C#mHard to my face and coG#mld on my shoulder
And Ewhy has my life gone G#mastray
C#mScarred by disgrace, I knBow that its Aover

REPEAT ABOVE FOR ADDT'L CHORUS
Because I’m falling down
With people standing round
But before I hit the ground
Is there time
Could I find someone out there to help me?
Because I’m falling down
With people standing round
But before I hit the ground
Is there time
Could I find someone out there to help me?
I don’t know…. Why
