Howards Alias - The Drop
Intro: Am- Ex2
Verse:
   AmThese buildings are dead, I watched as they crumbled around me,
   And Dmthings that I thought were important all fell from my Amhead.E  
   AmI stumbled, fell back, then pretty much stared in amazement,
   WhilDmst feeling the long lost caress of a past that's come Amback.
                             E   E7(hold)
   Will you stop me when it's done?
Interlude
Am-Dm-Am-E-Dm-Am-E  
Verse Chords as above:
The picture's blurred out, a wishy-washy reflection that's frayed
At the edges, And burned to a cinder is all I've made out.
So, just how could you tell? 'Cause I so thought my teary-eyed mask had you
Fooled for a second but we're dead on our feet in this spell.
                             E   E7(hold)          Am  
   Will you stop me when it's done? I'm falling apart.
FalDmling aEpart, I'm falling aAmpart.
FalDmling aEpart, I'm falling aAmpart.
FalDmling aEpart, I'm falling aAmpart.
FalDmling aEpart.
   CIs it the windows I've Ehid behind covered in Amsheets;
   COr songs sung in Etongues about you and Amme?
   COld memories Esacred that have faded to Amblack?
   CThat hence so far, this Efeeling can never groAmw back.
Verse Chords as above (quieter):
This blueprint worked out to be everything we didn't want,
From beginning to end all we're left with is signs of self doubt.
And now we can see; with clear heads, and open eyes.
Horizons are laced with the poisons of all that can and can't be.
   EWill you stop me? Oh. Will you stop me? Oh.
   Please can somebody stop me when I'm E7done? I'm falling aAmpart. 
FalDmling aEpart, I'm falling aAmpart.
FalDmling aEpart, I'm falling aAmpart.
FalDmling aEpart, I'm falling aAmpart.
FalDmling aEpart.
(quiet single strum)
   AmFalDmling aEpart.

Verse:

These buildings are dead, I watched as they crumbled around me,

Whilst feeling the long lost caress of a past that's come back.

E E7

(hold)

Will you stop me when it's done?

Verse Chords as above:

The picture's blurred out, a wishy-washy reflection that's frayed

At the edges, And burned to a cinder is all I've made out.

So, just how could you tell? 'Cause I so thought my teary-eyed mask had you

Fooled for a second but we're dead on our feet in this spell.

E E7 Am

(hold)

Will you stop me when it's done? I'm falling apart.

Dm E Am

Falling apart, I'm falling apart.

Dm E Am

Falling apart, I'm falling apart.

Dm E Am

Falling apart, I'm falling apart.

Dm E

Falling apart.

C E Am

Is it the windows I've hid behind covered in sheets;

C E Am

Or songs sung in tongues about you and me?

C E Am

Old memories sacred that have faded to black?

C E Am

That hence so far, this feeling can never grow back.

Verse Chords as above (quieter):

Will you stop me? Oh. Will you stop me? Oh.
