 Gm           A#      C
Andy was the company man
   Gm            A#          C
Responsible for signing the band
 Gm         A#         F
Songs came out of our mouths
              C
And into his hands
   Gm
Oh yeah

Legal help, yes we had plenty
Bank-accounts are easy to empty
Everybody's trying to help
Everyone is so friendly
Oh yeah

Chorus:
       A#        F
And we all come down
              A#         F/A       C
Don't make a sound as we hit the ground
       A#        F
Yes we all fall down
              A#         F/A       C
Don't make a sound as we hit the ground

Give us something easy to sing to
Give us something simple to cling to
Something we can all understand
Said the company man
Oh yeah
We sing

Chorus:
And we all fall down
Don't make a sound as we hit the ground
Yes we all fall down
Don't make a sound as we hit the ground

Yes we all fall down
Don't make a sound as we hit the ground
May we all fall down
Don't make a sound as we hit the ground
