C#m                  B            F#       C#m
Once was a man who consumed his place and time
                          B        F#
He thought nothing could touch him
C#m                      B         F#
But here and now it’s a different storyline
C#m                      B       F#
Like the straw he is clutching
 
E                       Abm
Why has the sky turned grey
C#m                   Abm
Hard to my face and cold on my shoulder
    E                    Abm
And why has my life gone astray
C#m                      B          A
Scarred by disgrace, I know that its over
 
 C#m          E         B     F#
Because I’m falling down
     C#m      E         B     F#
With people standing round
      C#m     E         B
But before I hit the ground
         F#           C#m            E           B      F#
Is there time Could I find someone out there to help me?
 
C#m                        B      (F#)       C#m
Howl at the wind rushing past my lonely head
                        B  (F#)
Caught inside its own motion
C#m                B        (F#)
How I wish it was somebody else instead
C#m                 B       (F#)
Howling at all this corrosion
 
E                    Abm
Why did the luck run dry
C#m                    Abm
Laugh in my face, so pleased to desert me
E                      Abm
Why do the cruel barbs fly?
C#m                    B         A
Now when disgrace can no longer hurt me
 
REPEAT ABOVE FOR ADDT'L CHORUS
Because I’m falling down
With people standing round
But before I hit the ground
Is there time
Could I find someone out there to help me?
 
Because I’m falling down
With people standing round
But before I hit the ground
Is there time
Could I find someone out there to help me?
I don’t know Why
