Gm
Hangin' by threads of palest silver
I could've stayed that way forever
Bad blood and ghosts wrapped tight around me
Nothin' could ever seem to touch me

D#                 Fsus2
I lose what I love most
D#                 Fsus2          Gm
Did you know I was lost until you found me?

Chorus:
Gm
A stroke of luck or a gift from God?
A#6
The hand of fate or devil's claws?
D#
From below or saints above?
Fsus2
You came to me
Gm
Here comes the cold again
A#6
I feel it closing in
D#
It's falling down and all around me
Fsus2
Falling

You say that you'll be there to catch me
Or will you only try to trap me?

These are the rules I make
Our chains were meant to break,
you'll never change me

Chorus:
Here comes the cold again
I feel it closin' in
You're fallin' down and all around me
Falling
Stroke of luck or a gift from God?
Hand of fate or devil's claws?
From below or saints above?
You come to me now

Gm           Fsus2
Don't ask me why
Gm         Fsus2
Don't even try

Chorus:
Stroke of luck or a gift from God?
Hand of fate or devil's claws?
From below or saints above?
You came to me
Here comes the cold again
I feel it closin' in
It's fallin' down and all around me
Falling

Falling, falling
Falling, falling
Falling, falling
Falling, falling
Falling, falling
