[Intro]
D Bm Asus4 A
D Bm Cadd9 A
[Verse 1]
D Bm Asus4 A
I've come five hundred miles just to see a halo
D Bm Cadd9 A
come from St. Petersburg, Scarlet and me
D Bm Asus4 A
Well, I opened my eyes, I was blind as can be
D Bm Cadd9 A
When you give a man luck, he must fall in the sea
Em Em7 Asus4 A
And she wants you to steal and get caught
Em Em7 Asus4 A
For she loves you for all that you are not
D Bm Asus4 A
When you're falling down, falling down
D Bm Cadd9 A
When you're falling down, falling down, falling down
[Verse 2]
D Bm Asus4 A
You forget all the roses don't come around on Sunday
D Bm Cadd9 A
She's not gonna choose you for standing so tall
D Bm Asus4 A
Go on, take a swig of that poison and like it
D Bm Cadd9 A
Don't ask for silverware, don't ask for nothing
Em Em7 Asus4 A
Go on, put your ear to the ground
Em Em7 Asus4 A
You know you'll be hearing that sound, falling down
D Bm Asus4 A
You're falling down, falling down
D Bm Cadd9 A
Falling down, falling down
[Instrumental Verse]
D Bm Asus4 A
Falling down
D Bm Cadd9 A
D Bm Asus4 A
D Bm Cadd9 A
Em Em7 Asus4 A
Em Em7 Asus4 A
D Bm Asus4 A
You're falling down
D Bm Cadd9 A
Falling down, falling down
[Verse 3]
D Bm Asus4 A
Go on down see that wrecking ball come swinging on along
D Bm Cadd9 A
Everyone knew that hotel was a goner
D Bm Asus4 A
They broke all the windows, they took all the doorknobs
D Bm Cadd9 A
And they hauled it away in a couple of days
Em Em7 Asus4 A
Now someone yelled: timber, take off your hat
Em Em7 Asus4 A
It all looks smaller down here on the ground
D Bm Asus4 A
We're falling down, falling down, falling down
D Bm Cadd9 A
Falling down, falling down
D Bm Asus4 A
Falling down, someone's falling
D Bm Cadd9 A
Down, falling down, falling
D Bm Asus4 A
Down, falling down, falling
D Bm Cadd9 A D
Down, falling down
