Fall Line by Jack Johnson
Fall Line
[Intro]
D
And by the way You know that hope will make you strange
[Verse]
Make you blink, make you blank, Make you sink
G
It will make you afraid of change
Enough to blame the box with the view of the world
D
And the walls that fill the frame
I turn it up But then I turn it off Because I can't stand
G
When they start to talk about The hurting and killing
Whose shoes are we filling The damage and ruin
And the things that we're doing
D
Gotta We gotta stop We gotta turn it all off We gotta rewind
A B C
Start it up again Because we fell across the fall line
B G D
Ain't nothing sacred anymore Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah
[Instrumental]
A7sus4, D, A7sus4,
[Verse]
D
Somebody saw him jump Yeah, but nobody saw him slip
I guess he lost a lot a hope And then he lost a grip
G
And now he's lying in the freeway In the middle of this mess
Guess we lost another one, just like the other one
D
Optimistic, hypocrite that didn't have the nerve to quit
The things that kept him wanted more 'Til he finally reached the core
A B C B G
He fell across the fall line Ain't nothing sacred anymore
D
Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah

version 2
Intro:Bsus/E
(Verse 1)
Bsus/E
I don't care if it rains afreezin',
Esus/A
As long as i got my blasta' Jesus,
Bsus/E Gbsus/B
Sittin' on the dashboard of my car
Bsus/E
It comes in colors, pink and pleasant,
Esus/A
It glows in the dark, cause it's irridescent
Bsus/E Gbsus/B Bsus/E
I take it with me whenever i go far
Bsus/E
So give me my Lady Madonna,
Esus/A
Dressed in rhinestones and sitting on a
Bsus/E Gbsus/B
Pedastool of Albalone shells
Bsus/E
Drivin' 90 but i'm not scary,
Esus/A
Cause I got my Virgin Mary,
Bsus/E Gbsus/B Bsus/E
Assuring me that i will never go to Hell
(Fall line)
Bsus/E
And by the way, you know that hope will make you strange,
make you blink, make you blank, make you sink,
Esus/A
It will make you afraid of change, enough to blame the box with the view of the world,
Bsus/E
and the ones the fit the frame,
Bsus/E
I turn it up, but then I turn it off because I can't stand when they start to talk
Esus/A
About the hurting, the killing, whose shoes are we filling,
The damage and ruin, man the things that we doin'
Bsus/E
Good God, we gotta stop, we gotta turn it all off,we gotta
rewind, start it up again
Gbsus/B
because we fell across the fall line,
Esus/A
Ain't nothing sacred anymore
Bsus/E Esus/A Bsus/E Esus/A
Nah,nah,nah,nah,nah,nah,nah,nah
(Verse 2:same chords as before)
Somebody saw him jump, yeah but nobody saw him slip,
I guess he lost alot of hope, but then he lost his grip,
and he was lying in the freeway in the middle of this mess,
guess we lost another one, just like the other one,
optimistic, hypocrite, who didn't have the nerve to quit,
The things that kept him wanting more, 'till he finally reached the core,
and fell across the fall line,
ain't nothing sacred anymore
Nah,nah,nah,nah,nah,nah,nah,nah

Verse 1
Bsus/E Absus/Db
All my friends are getting older,
Gbsus/B Absus/Db
I guess I must be too,
Absus/Db Esus/A
Without their love and kindness I,
Gbsus/B
I don't know what I'll do,
Esus/A Bsus/E
Oh, the Wine bottle's half empty,
Gbsus/B Absus/Db
The money's all been spent,
Ebsus/Ab Esus/A
We're a cross between our parents and,
Gbsus/B
hippies in a tent, oh
Absus/Db Bsus/E
Love calls, just like the wild birds,
Gbsus/B Absus/Db
It's just another day,
Absus/Db Esus/A Asus/D Bsus/E
Spring winds blew my list of things to do away
Interlude:Esus/A,Bsus/E
Verse 2 (Same chords as one)
In a mucked up lovely river,
I cast my little fly,
I look at that river, and i smell it and,
It makes me wanna cry, oh
It's a clean, undirty planet,
Now there's a noble wish,
And I'm putting my shoulder to the wheel,
cause I wanna catch some fish,oh
Love calls, just like the wild birds,
It's just another day,
Spring winds blew my list of things to do away (End on Bsus/E)

Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah
I lived a while without you,
Darn near half my life.
I no longer see our unborn children,
Born to you my unwed wife.
But yesterday I had a vision,
Beneath the tree where we once talked,
Of an old couple burning
Their love letters so their children
Won't be shocked.
Love calls like the wild birds
It's another day.
A Spring wind blew my list of
Things to do... away.
My friends are gettin older,
So I guess I must be too.
Without their loving kindness,
I don't know what I'd do.
Oh the wine bottle's half empty-
The money's all spent.
And we're a cross between our parents
And hippies in a tent.
Love calls like the wild birds
It's another day.
A Spring wind blew my list of
Things to do... away.
In a mucked up lovely river,
I cast my little fly.
I look at that river and smell it
And it makes me wanna cry.
Oh to clean our dirty planet,
Now there's a noble wish,
And I'm puttin my shoulder to the wheel
'Cause I wanna catch some fish.
Love calls like the wild birds
It's another day.
A Spring wind blew my list of
Things to do... away.

and by the way
you know that hope will make you strange
make you blink, make you blank, make you sink
it will make you afraid of change
and often blame
the box with the view of the world
and the ones that fill the frame
i turn it up but then i turn it off
because i can't stand when they start to talk
about the hurting and killing
whose shoes are we filling
the damage and ruin
and the things that were doing
we gotta stop, we gotta turn it all off
we gotta rewind and start it up again
because we fell across the fall line
ain't there nothing sacred anymore
somebody saw him jump
but bobody saw him slip
i guess he lost a lot of hope
and then he lost his grip
now he's lying the freeway in the middle of this mess
guess we lost another one
just like the other one
optimistic hypocrite
that didn't have the nerve to quit
the things that kepy him wanting more
until he finally reached the core
he fell across the fall line
ain't there nothing sacred anymore
