C
I don't know you
F
But I want you
C                    F
All the more for that
 C
Words fall through me
    F
And always fool me
C               F
And I can't react
Am          G      Fmaj7
Games that never amount
    G                Am
To more than they're meant
      G             Fmaj7
Will lay themselves down

Chorus:
 C                Fmaj7
Take this sinking boat
             Am
And point it home
                Fmaj7
We've still got time
 C                  Fmaj7
Raise your hopeful voice
             Am
You have a choice
               Fmaj7
You've made it now

Falling slowly, eyes that know me
And I can't go back
Moods that take me and erase me
And I'm painted black
You have suffered enough
And warred with yourself
It's time that you won

Chorus

Fmaj7
Falling slowly
Am
Falling slowly
Fmaj7
Falling slowly
        Fmaj7
Take it all
             Fmaj7
I'll pay the cost too late
           Fmaj7
Now you're gone
