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