Verse 1:
C#m B F# C#m
Once was a man who consumed his place and time
C#m B F#
He thought nothing could touch him
C#m B F#
But here and now it’s a different story line
C#m B F#
Like the straw he is clutching
Pre-Chorus 1:
E G#m C#m G#m
Why has the sky turned grey? Hard to my face and cold on my shoulder
E G#m C#m B A
And why has my life gone astray? Scarred by disgrace, I know that its over
Chorus 1:
C#m E B F#
Because I’m falling down
C#m E B F#
With people standing round
C#m E B F#
But before I hit the ground, is there time?
C#m E B F#
Could I find someone out there to help me?
Verse 2:
C#m B F# C#m
Howl at the wind rushing past my lonely head
C#m B F#
Caught inside its own motion
C#m B F#
How I wish it was somebody else instead
C#m B F#
Howling at all this corrosion
Pre-Chorus 2:
E G#m C#m G#m
Why did the luck run dry? Laugh in my face, so pleased to desert me
E G#m C#m B A
Why do the cruel barbs fly? Now when disgrace can no longer hurt me
Chorus 2:
C#m E B F#
Because I’m falling down
C#m E B F#
With people standing round
C#m E B F#
But before I hit the ground, is there time?
C#m E B F#
Could I find someone out there to help me?
(abrupt end)
