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?
