Version 1
            [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
