Version 1

D Bm7  Asus4  A  D Bm7  CaddD

A          D   Bm7           Asus4     A
I’ve come 500 miles just to see your halo
D              Bm7          CaddD      A
Come from St. Petersburg, Scarlett and me
        D       Bm7          Asus4      A
When I open my eyes, I was blind as can be
        D          Bm7           CaddD        A
And to give a man luck, he must fall in the sea
         Em7           Em/D          Asus4 A
And she wants you to steal and get caught
         Em7           Em/D         Asus4 A
For she loves you for all that you are not
                D       Bm7        Asus4 A
When you’re falling down, falling down
                     D             Bm7           Asus4 A
When you’re falling down, falling down, falling down

You forget all the roses don’t come around on Sunday
She’s not gonna choose you for standing so tall
Go on take a swig of that poison and like it
And now don’t ask for silverware, don’t ask for nothing
Go on and put your ear to the ground
You know you’ll be hearing that sound, falling down
You’re falling down, falling down
Falling down, falling down
Falling down

When you’re falling down, falling down, falling down

Go on down see that wrecking ball come swing in on her now
Everyone knew that hotel was a goner
They broke all the windows and took all the door knobs
And they hauled it away in a couple of days
Now someone yelled timber, take off your hat
We all look smaller down here on the ground
When you’re falling down, falling down, falling down
Falling down, falling down
Falling down

Someone’s falling down, falling down, falling down
Falling down, falling down
Falling down

Lyrics

I come 500 miles just to see a halo
Come from St. Petersburg, Scarlett and me
Well I open my eyes, I was blind as can be
When you give a man luck, he must fall in the sea
And she wants you to steal and get caught
For she loves you for all that you are not
When you're falling down, falling down
When you're falling down, falling down, falling down

You forget all the roses, don't come around on Sunday
She's not gonna choose you for standing so tall
Go on take a swig of that poison and like it
And don't ask for silverware, don't ask for nothing
Go on and put your ear to the ground
You know you will be hearing that sound, falling down.
Falling down, falling down
Falling down, falling down, falling down

When you're falling down, falling down, falling down

Go on down see that wrecking ball come swinging on along
Everyone knew that hotel was a goner
They broke all the windows, they took all the door knobs
And they hauled it away in a couple of days
Now someone yell 'timber' and take off your hat
It's a lot smaller down here on the ground
You're falling down, falling down, falling down
Falling down, falling down, falling down

Someone's falling down, falling down, falling down
Falling down, falling down, falling down
