[Verse 1]

Bm
   The leaves will fall again, the wind comes crawling in

A2
   The rain with all its sin, captures me again

Bm
   The words it threw my way, filled my soul with pain

A2                                            (Bm)
   My anger into space, almost found its way again...

[Verse 2]
Bm
   Questions to embrace, feelings that you'll face

A2
   In this holy land, a desert made of quicksand

Bm
   Streets that lead you there, places of your fear

A2                                     (Bm)
   Some force pulls you in, the shadow world...

   By the time I made the great escape, I was falling, falling, falling from heaven

D/A    A2                   Em7             G                 D/F#          G
    In every picture that I drew I saw you falling, falling, falling from heaven

[Verse 3]
Bm
   From an empty face, the smile wiped away

A2
   Eyes that never see, blind the deepest me

Bm
   Act a small charade, words you can't explain

A2                                               (Bm)
   Silence louder than the doubt, lingers in the sound

      I got down on my knees and prayed, I was calling, calling, calling to heaven

D/A A2                      Em7                  G                 D/F#          G

  If you just talk to me...
