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

You forget all the roses don't come 'round on sunday
D Bm Cadd9 A
She's not gonna choose you, for standing so tall
D Bm Asus4 A
Go on, take a swig of that poison, and like it
D Bm Cadd9 A
Don't ask for silverware, don't ask for nothing

D Bm Cadd9 A
Everyone knew that hotel was a goner
D Bm Asus4 A
They broke all the windows, they took all the doorknobs
D Bm Cadd9 A
And they hauled it away in a couple of days

version 3
capo on 4th fret
intro: A E (2x)
A E
I've come 500 miles just to see a halo
A E
Come from st. Petersburg, Scarlett and me
A E
Well I open my eyes, I was blind as can be
A E
When you give a man luck, he must fall in the sea
Bm E
And she wants you to steal and get caught
Bm E
For she loves you for all that you are not
A E
When you’re falling down, falling down
A E (hold)
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 and 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.
You’re falling down, falling down
Falling down, falling down, falling down
[solo] (on verse crd)
When you’re falling down, falling down, falling down
Go on down and 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
