Talking Like Im Falling Downstairs
Capo: 2nd Fret ( alternatively play without the capo A Bm etc )
G Am
Tongue tied, talking to my feet, when there's nothing better than self defeat
G Am
I stop, stall, try to stand tall, when whatever I say means nothing at all
D C D
I walk, through all the steps in my head, it made more sense in my head
C
Plain and simple I can't keep climbing
Em Am
I try to find the words but they won't surrender
Em Am
So I lie to you and say that I don't remember
D C
Singing like a hurricane, dancing like Fred Astaire,
D Em
Walking like a young John Wayne, I'm talking like I'm falling downstairs,
Am Em Am
Talking like I'm falling downstairs
G Am
Stut-ter, mutter to myself, that you can't quote something from someone else
G Am
I duck - swerve, lose my nerve, it's on the tip of my tongue
D C
So just give me the word and I'll walk, through all the steps in my head
D C
It made more sense in my head, plain and simple I can't keep climbing
Em Am
I try to find the words but they won't surrender
Em Am
So I lie to you and say that I don't remember
D C
Singing like a hurricane, dancing like Fred Astaire,
D C
Walking like a young John Wayne, I'm talking like I'm falling down
Em Am Em Am
Talking like I'm falling downstairs, talking like I'm falling downstairs
D C
Singing like a hurricane, dancing like Fred Astaire,
D C
Walking like a young John Wayne, I'm talking like I'm falling down

Talking like I'm falling downstairs, talking like I'm falling downstairs
