Chorus:
Em
Is this world spinning round
C Em
Has this ship run aground
Em
What's that shape
What's that sound
C Em
That's just me falling down
Em
Some of us are free
Some are bound
C
Some will swim
Em
Some will drown
Some of us are saints
Some are clowns
C Em
Just like me they're falling down
C7
Well I lied to the nation
Em A Em
While my reputation ran dry
C7
From my lungs to my liver
Em A Em
I clung to the river bank's side
C7
Yeah well I'm back in the water
Doing what I oughta
A D#7
Trying to lead an ordinary life
Chorus:
Is this world spinning round?
Has this ship run aground?
What's that shape, what's that sound?
That's just me falling down
Some of us are green, some are brown
Some are lost, some are found
Sight unseen baby, sound on sound
Pray for me, I'm falling down
I was lost in the jungle, crossed over enemy lines
Well I got me a red nose by
sleeping under hedgerows at night
Yeah, well I tried levitation, flying in formation
Heaven knows the weight of this crime
Chorus:
Is this, is this world spinning round?
Has this ship run aground?
What's that shape, what's that sound?
That's just me falling down
La, la, la, la-la-la
La, la, la, la-la-la
La, la, la, la-la-la
La, la, la, la-la-la
Falling down, falling down
Falling down, falling down
Falling down, falling down
Falling down, falling down
