Chords

[Intro] G C x4 [Verse 1]
 G                         C/G
Watching TV tired, bleeding on the bed

     G                             C/G
The milk has just expired, all the leaves are dead

         G                                C/G
I’m not quiet, you’ve been quiet — just receiving what you said

 G                                 C/G
Reeling, feeding, feeling filled by everything you fed

   G                                 C/G
I see you as you see yourself through all the books you read

G                             C/G
Overwhelmed with guilt and realizing the disease
[Chorus]
G                        C/G
You give me chills, I’ve had it with the drills

     G                               C/G
I’m nothing, you are nothing, we are nothing with the pills

    G                      C/G
I’m empty till she fills, alive until she kills

        G               C/G
In her vampire empire, I am

    G     C/G
Falling, yeah

    G     C/G
Falling, yeah
[Verse 2]
   G                     C/G
I see you there rejecting all your earthly power

    G                                C/G
Protecting and dissecting till you’ve emptied every hour

    G                          C/G
We jump into the pond, then we come under the shower

     G                        C/G
You lay upon my pillow and you open like a flower

   G                         C/G
I wanted to see you naked, I wanted to hear you scream

 G                         C/G
Wanted to kiss your skin and your everything

   G                         C/G
I wanted to be your woman, I wanted to be your man

   G                          C/G
I wanted to be the one that you could understand
[Chorus]
G                        C/G
You give me chills, I’ve had it with the drills

     G                               C/G
I’m nothing, you are nothing, we are nothing with the pills

    G                      C/G
I’m empty till she fills, alive until she kills

        G               C/G
In her vampire empire, I am

    G     C/G
Falling, yeah

    G     C/G
Falling, yeah
[Bridge]
G  C/G
Oh, oh

G  C/G
Oh, oh

G  C/G
Oh, oh

G  C/G
Oh, ah
[Verse 3] N.C. N.C. Well, I’ve walked into your dagger for the last time N.C. N.C. It’s like trying to start a fire with matches in the snow N.C. N.C. Where you can’t seem to hold me, can’t seem to let me go N.C. N.C. So I can’t find surrender and I can’t keep control
     G                              C/G
You turn me inside out and then you want the outside in

      G                         C/G
You spin me all around, then you ask me not to spin

     G                      C/G
You say you want to be alone and you want children

     G                    C/G
You wanna be with me, you wanna be with him
[Chorus]
G                        C/G
You give me chills, I’ve had it with the drills

     G                               C/G
I’m nothing, you are nothing, we are nothing with the pills

    G                      C/G
I’m empty till she fills, alive until she kills

        G               C/G
In her vampire empire, I am

    G     C/G
Falling, yeah

    G     C/G
Falling, yeah

    G     C/G
Falling, yeah

    G     C/G
Falling, yeah

    G     C/G
Falling, yeah

    G     C/G
Falling, yeah
