E7See that yellow moon rising high in the sky there
Don't let it fool you now, oh A7no
It's just a feelin' but I don't want to find you lost
Paying a heavy cost for E7nothing at all 
It's a mighty long way to fall
There are angels in heaven but some fell away
Don't let them fool you now, oh no
It's not a feelin' but I heard that from the garden
They were thrown out and hardened and as I recall 
It was a mighty long way to fall
Chorus:
You can C#mbet on this life, but the Astakes will be high
And C#mtalk all you want about Aheaven
But the Emoon in your Deyes and Athose in disBmguise
Won't C#mget you to paraAdise
Temptations are many with hearts running wild
Don't let them fool you now, oh no
It's not a feeling cause I crossed that line and lived a lie
Suffered but didn't die saved from it all
A mighty long way to fall
Chorus +:
If you're Efallin', Afallin'; if you're  Efallin', Afallin' (repeat)

C#m

See that yellow moon rising high in the sky there

Don't let it fool you now, oh no

It's just a feelin' but I don't want to find you lost

Paying a heavy cost for nothing at all

It's a mighty long way to fall

There are angels in heaven but some fell away

Don't let them fool you now, oh no

It's not a feelin' but I heard that from the garden

They were thrown out and hardened and as I recall

It was a mighty long way to fall

Chorus:

C#m A

You can bet on this life, but the stakes will be high

C#m A

And talk all you want about heaven

E D A Bm

But the moon in your eyes and those in disguise

C#m A

Won't get you to paradise

Temptations are many with hearts running wild

Don't let them fool you now, oh no

It's not a feeling cause I crossed that line and lived a lie

Suffered but didn't die saved from it all

A mighty long way to fall

Chorus +:

E A E A

If you're fallin', fallin'; if you're fallin', fallin' (repeat)
