Verse 1:

D                             Bm                   G                        D
Where does the time go, spinning my wheels, standing still, it's like running on ice

         C                              G     A
I only gain a little distance when I fall.

  D                                       Bm
How did I become a molecule in the concrete of this city,

    G                                      A
indifferent to my endless motion in a space to small to see,

          D                            C                               G      A
Nonetheless expected to be, I only get a little attention when I fall.

             C
And I'm falling, falling down, falling, falling down* (Intro riff here)
 

Verse 2:
 

    F                        G                            D
Cursed with reason, in a world so defiant without conclusion,

               C                       G                          A
This is the story, the story we live out, and it is the moral too,

 A
Look at me I'm falling for you
 
 

Verse 3:

    D                    Bm                          G                        A
Shaking crying, hating lying to myself, tired of telling myself it's ok to be this tired.

                  D                                              C                       G
This sick and tired of the turns the world takes and the people that it makes us be,

           A
Oh and lately it appears to me

               C
And I'm falling, falling down, I'm falling (oh yes I'm) falling down

 
Breaking, (breaking down____) (Intro riff here)
 

End:

                    D        C     G                   D                 C         G
And I'm falling down (breaking down), I'm falling down, (said I'm falling, falling)

          D       C        G             D                 C         G
Falling down, (breaking down), falling down, (said I'm falling, falling)

D          C     G   D                       C          G   D
Falling, falling down, falling, (I'd like to take you down), falling,

   C      G       D                   C   G   D
Falling down_______________
    (you are my only one______)
