Intro: C F Am F F 
 
C                 F 
I don't know you, but I want you 
C                 F 
All the more for that 
C                         F 
Words fall through me, and always fool me 
C               F 
And I can't react 
 
Am         G        F 
Games that never amount 
    G                  Am 
To more than they're meant 
      G                 F 
Will play themselves out 
 
C                 F 
Take this sinking boat 
             Am 
And point it home 
                F 
We've still got time 
C                  F 
Raise your hopeful voice 
          Am 
You had a choice 
               F 
You've made it now 
 
C               F 
Falling slowly, eyes that know me 
C                F 
And I can't go back 
C                   F 
Moods that take me, and erase me 
C                   F 
And I'm painted black 
 
Am           G         F 
You have suffered enough 
    G                 Am 
And warred with yourself 
     G              F 
It's time that you won 
 
C                F 
Take this sinking boat 
            Am 
And point it home 
                F 
We've still got time 
C                  F 
Raise your hopeful voice 
          Am 
You had a choice 
               F 
You've made it now 
C 
Falling slowly 
F             Am 
Sing your melody 
             F 
I'll sing it loud
