[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
