F Gm A# C Am I a faulty kind of man, so tender in the heart? F Gm A# C Are clues embedded in my hands, or horoscope or cards? F Gm A# C No, I'm no special grain of sand or undiscovered star F Gm A# If there's a great and holy plan I'd rather have no part F/A Ain't that the way, ain't that the way A# You always unwind my head, unmake the bed like Sunday F/A Ain't that the way, ain't that the way A# You get me talking to the dead and questioning if C I'm alive at all Chorus: F A# Why every morning waking up F/A C Must I try not to fall, must I try not to fall apart? F Dm You take me in your grateful arms F/A C And I try not to fall, oh I try not to fall apart F A# It's not the way a man like me behaves F/A C It's not the way the world would have me play my part F Dm Then why does every fibre shake F/A C F As I try not to fall, as I try not to fall apart? Am I a low and lacking man, no shimmer to my soul? Am I a spindle wound too tight, a fraction of a whole? No, I've no party tricks, my hand is empty as a vault If there's a charge, oh then I'll stand and do the time for every fault Ain't that the way, ain't that the way You always unwind my head, unmake the bed like Sunday Ain't that the way, ain't that the way You get me talking to the dead and questioning if I'm alive at all Chorus: Why every morning waking up Must I try not to fall, must I try not to fall apart? You take me in your grateful arms And I try not to fall, oh I try not to fall apart It's not the way a man like me behaves It's not the way the world would have me play my part Then why does every fibre shake As I try not to fall, as I try not to fall apart? F/A Ain't that the way, ain't that the way A# You always unwind my head, unmake the bed like Sunday F/A Ain't that the way, ain't that the way A# You get me talking to the dead and questioning if C I'm alive at all Why every morning waking up Must I try not to fall, must I try not to fall apart? You take me in your grateful arms And I try not to fall, oh I try not to fall apart It's not the way a man like me behaves It's not the way the world would have me play my part Then why does every fibre shake As I try not to fall, as I try not to fall apart?
