C G


[Chorus]
C                  G
Things are falling down on me
C               G            C G C G
Heavy things I could not see
C              G
When I finally came around
C                     G          C G C G
Something small would pin me down
     F*             G**
So I try, to step inside
                                   C G C G
I move to where they hoped id be


[Verse 1]
F                       C
Vanessa calls me on the phone
F                   C
Reminding me I'm not alone
F                        C
I fuss and quake and cavitate
                           G
I try and speak by turn to stone


[Verse 2]
F                       C
Telly reaches in my vest
F                       C
To do the thing that she does best
F                       C
She probes and tears my ventricles
F                       G
Steals my one remaining breath


[Chorus]
C                  G
Things are falling down on me
C               G            C G C G
Heavy things I could not see
C              G
When I finally came around
C                     G          C G C G
Something small would pin me down
     F*             G**
So I try, to step inside.
                                   C G C G
I move to where they hoped I'd be


[Verse 3]
F                       C
Stumbling as we fall from grace
F                       C
She needs my vision to replace
F                       C
Her ailing sight throughout the night
F                       G
Leaving two holes in my face


[Verse 4]
F                       C
Mary was a friend I'd say
F                  C
Till one summer day
F                       C
She borrowed everything I own
F                    G
And simply ran away.


[Chorus]
C                  G
Things are falling down on me
C               G            C G C G
Heavy things I could not see
C              G
When I finally came around
C                     G          C G C G
Something small would pin me down
     F *                  G**
So I try, to step inside
                                   C G C G
I move to where they hoped id be
