Verse 1:

D Bm G D
Where does the time go, spinning my wheels, standing still, it's like running on ice

C G A
I only gain a little distance when I fall.

D Bm
How did I become a molecule in the concrete of this city,

G A
indifferent to my endless motion in a space to small to see,

D C G A
Nonetheless expected to be, I only get a little attention when I fall.

C
And I'm falling, falling down, falling, falling down* (Intro riff here)


Verse 2:


F G D
Cursed with reason, in a world so defiant without conclusion,

C G A
This is the story, the story we live out, and it is the moral too,

A
Look at me I'm falling for you



Verse 3:

D Bm G A
Shaking crying, hating lying to myself, tired of telling myself it's ok to be this tired.

D C G
This sick and tired of the turns the world takes and the people that it makes us be,

A
Oh and lately it appears to me

C
And I'm falling, falling down, I'm falling (oh yes I'm) falling down


Breaking, (breaking down____) (Intro riff here)


End:

D C G D C G
And I'm falling down (breaking down), I'm falling down, (said I'm falling, falling)

D C G D C G
Falling down, (breaking down), falling down, (said I'm falling, falling)

D C G D C G D
Falling, falling down, falling, (I'd like to take you down), falling,

C G D C G D
Falling down_______________
(you are my only one______)
