  I won't try to bring you down about my suicide

Cmaj7            G/D         Em7            G/B
  Got no need to understand about my big surprise

Cmaj7            G/D          Em7          G/B
  I won't beg to hang you up about my love of life

[Pre-Chorus]
Cmaj7                G/D             Em7                  G/B
  I am writing you a letter. Getting better. Can I see you when

Cmaj7                   G/D                 Em7                      G/B
  All the lights go out together? Blame the weather, yeah, the cold again

Cmaj7                   G/D         Em7                     G/B
  In the darkness for a second I am sure I see them smiling then

Cmaj7            G/D      Em7                    G/B
  I feel them calling me. Yeah, they are calling me
[Chorus]
Am                           Bm     C            C/D
 And I'm falling through the stars (you remember now?)

Am                          Bm    C            C/D
 Yeah, I'm falling in their arms (you remember how?)

Am                           Bm   C            C/D
 Oh, I'm falling through the sky (you remember this?)

Am                     Bm    C                C/D  C* N.C.
 I am falling in their eyes (you remember the kiss?)

Cmaj7            G/D          Em7          G/B
  I won't try to pull you in about my sacrifice

Cmaj7               G/D       Em7             G/B
  Makes no sense to get upset about the other side

Cmaj7            G/D          Em7              G/B
  I won't beg to put you out about my right to die

Cmaj7                 G/D               Em7                       G/B
  I am calling you at midnight. Feeling all right. Can I tell you when?

Cmaj7                       G/D              Em7                      G/B
  On the line, no sound but my words must be night birds on the wire again

Cmaj7                  G/D                Em7                G/B
  In the silence for a second I am sure I hear them laughing then

Cmaj7            G/D      Em7                    G/B
  I feel them calling me. Yeah, they are calling me
[Chorus]
Am                           Bm     C            C/D
 And I'm falling through the stars (you remember now?)

Am                          Bm    C            C/D
 Yeah, I'm falling in their arms (you remember how?)

Am                            Bm   C           C/D
 Oh, I'm falling through the sky (you remember this?)

[Bridge]
    Fmaj7/C          G        Em
"We know, they said, - You're holding on

     Fmaj7/C    G    Em
To nothing left - of something gone"

    Fmaj7/C          G    Em
"We know, they said, - in letting go

   Fmaj7/C         G     Em
Of fear and dread  - and all you know

       Am             Bm    C         C/D
You'll lose the nee-e-ed of certainty

    Am           Bm   C       C/D
And make-beli-i-ieve eternity

   Am       Bm          C     C/D
To find the true, oh, reality

   Am    Bm         C        C/D   C*                             C5    G5    E5    G5
In beautiful, oh, infinity", yeah! -eah! -eah! -eah! (yeah! yeah! yeah!)
[Outro]
