o
* * * *
Oh the feeling
* *
when you're reeling
(C)
you step lightly thinking you're number one
o
* * * *
down to zero with a
* *
word leaving
(C)
for another one
now you walk with your feet back on the ground
(C) / /
down to the ground, down to the ground
down to the ground, down to the ground
o
* * * *
brand new dandy
* *
first class scene stealer
walks through the crowd and takes your man
o
* * * *
sends you rushing to the mirror
* *
brush your eyebrows and say
(C)
there's more beauty in you than anyone
oh remember who walked the warm sand beside you
(C)
?move to your heel? let the waves come rushing in
she took the worry from your head
but then again she put trouble in your heart instead
and you fall
down to the ground, down to the ground
o
* * * *
you know heartache
* *
still more crying
when you're thinking of your mothers only son
o
* * * *
you take to your bed
* *
you say there's peace in sleep
but you dream of lo-ove instead oh
the heartache you'll find can bring
more pain than the blistering sun
()
but oh, when you fall
()
but oh, when you fall you fall at my
door

* is a strum, to give some idea of timing in the verses
small case letters are individual notes, (not chords)
h is a hammer on
p is a pull off
(C)D, (C)Em, etc. means strum the C real quick, then change *immediately*
to the next chord...sometimes she misses out the C entirely
in the intro & outro, emphasise the low notes in the D (=?D5 (xx023x))
