tom waits - falling down

C Am
I have come 500 miles
G
Just to see a halo
C Am
Come from St. Petersburg
G
Scarlett and me
C Am
Well I open my eyes
G
I was blind as can be
C Am
When you give a man luck
G
He must fall in the sea


F
And she wants you
G
To steal and get caught
F
For she loves you
G
For all that you are not

When you're
C Am G
Falling doowwnnn.. falling down
C Am
When you're falling down
G
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

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
