Nobody has had it right so far. And while none can be perfect, this is MUCH
more accurate than any of the others out there. Enjoy!

Words fall through me, (and) always fool me, and I can't react
[Verse 2 (this part is an approximation but is close; piano and vocals kind of
drown out the guitar, so just play some similar arpeggio based on the chords]

And games that never a-mount to more than they're meant Will play themselves out
[Chorus] (relatively metered strums [8th notes] with up-strums [16th notes]
just before each chord transition)
C F Am F
Take this sinking boat and point it home, we've still got time
C F Am F
Raise your hopeful voice you have a choice, you'll make it now
[Verse 1]
C F C F
Falling slowly, eyes that know me, and I can't go back
C F C F
Moods that take me and erase me, and I'm painted black
[Verse 2]
Am G F G Am G F
You have suffered e-nough and warred with your-self, it's time that you won
[Chorus]
C F Am F
Take this sinking boat and point it home, we've still got time
C F Am F
Raise your hopeful voice you have a choice, you've made it now
C F Am F
Falling slowly sing your melo-dy, I'll sing a-long
[Outtro] (lots of strums on F, while humming, then back to the intro once)
