[Intro] Ebm B F# Fm C# [Verse 1]
Ebm                         B
lose a little feeling in my fingers

F#                          Fm   C#
gain an edge of panic in my face

Ebm                             B
search for some sign to tell me just how long I've been here

F#            Fm  C#
overturn the place

Ebm                             B
feels like each time my efforts fail

F#                            Fm C#
the whole hillsides disapprove

Ebm                              B
feel like a man whose veins have frozen overnight

F#                     Fm  C#
lying there, trying to move
[Chorus]
              Ebm                 C#
yeah when the crack sounds in the wood

          B                      Ebm
you will know that I'm down for good.

          Ebm                 C#
when the crack sounds in the wood

          B         C#                      Ebm
you will know, old friend, that I'm down for good.
[Verse 2]
Ebm                       B
I want to try to stand my ground,

F#                    Fm     C#
dig my heels into the hills.

Ebm                                B
hope someone will come to right my balance

F#     Fm    C#
no one will.

Ebm                                 B
feels like when I try to stretch my legs

F#                          Fm C#
everyone around me's trying too

Ebm                                 B
so ready just to fall down, just to fall down and to stay down.

F#                      Fm    C#
I don't wanna spoil the view.
[Chorus]
              Ebm                 C#
yeah when the crack sounds in the wood

          B                      Ebm
you will know that I'm down for good.

          Ebm                 C#
when the crack sounds in the wood

          B         C#                      Ebm
you will know, old friend, that I'm down for good.
