Verse 1: 

C#m                  B            F#       C#m
Once was a man who consumed his place and time
                          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
Why has the sky turned grey?
C#m                   G#m
Hard to my face and cold on my shoulder
    E                    G#m
And why has my life gone astray?
C#m                      B          A
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     
But before I hit the ground
         F#           C#m            E           B       F#
Is there time 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
                        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
Why did the luck run dry
C#m                    G#m 
Laugh in my face, so pleased to desert me
E                      G#m
Why do the cruel barbs fly?
C#m                    B         A
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     
But before I hit the ground
         F#           C#m            E           B       F#
Is there time Could I find someone out there to help me?


Chorus 3: 

 C#m          E         B     F#
Because I?m falling down
     C#m      E         B     F#
With people standing round
      C#m     E         B     
But before I hit the ground
         F#           C#m            E           B       F# 
Is there time Could I find someone out there to help me?
