 G#
Julie says: "John I'm getting nowhere.
I wrote this letter,
hoped to get to some place soon.
I wanna get up when I wake up,
                      E
but when I get up, I fall down."

Julie wake up, Julie tell the story
You wrote the letter, said you were gonna
Get there someday
Gonna walk in the sun
And the wind and the rain
Never look back again

Chorus:
         E
Now you fall down
           G#
You're falling down
     E
You fall down
     G#
You fall down

Julie say something, Julie say you're sorry
You're gonna get better, you better not
Leave me here anyway
I want to get up, when you wake up

Chorus:
But when I get up
I fall down
I'm falling down
I fall down
I broke myself

G#
I fall,

Chorus:
I fall down
I'm falling down
I fall down
When you fall
I fall with you
And when you're falling down
Is when I hit the ground
I fall with you
I fall down
