Intro - , , /,  repeat once

Verse 1 -

                        /     
I'm not sure why it always goes downhill
                    /         
Why broken cisterns never could stay filled

I've spent

Chorus -

                        /     
Ten years singing gravity away
                                         
But the water keeps on falling from the sky

Verse 2 -

                         /               
So here tonight while the stars are blacking out
                             /           
With every hope and dream I've ever had in doubt

I've spent

Chorus -

                    /          
Ten years trying to sing these doubts away
                                     
But the water keeps on falling from my eyes
                 /    
And heaven knows, heaven knows
                             
I tried to find a cure for the pain
                 /      
Oh my Lord, to suffer like you do
                 /      
/, , , /
It would be a lie to run away

Verse 3 -

           
So blood is fire

/              
pulsing through our veins
                      /          
We're either riders, or fools behind the reigns

I've spent

Chorus -
                    /          
Ten years trying to sing it all away
                                     
But the water keeps on falling from my tries
                 /    
And heaven knows, heaven knows
                             
I tried to find a cure for the pain
                 /      
Oh my Lord, to suffer like you do
                 /   
It would be a lie to run away
                 /   
It would be a lie
                   /
It would be a lie to run away

Bridge -
           
It keeps on falling
/     
It keeps on falling
           
It keeps on falling
/     
It keeps on falling
                                     
And the water keeps on falling from my eyes

End -

                 /    
And heaven knows, heaven knows
                             
I tried to find a cure for the pain
                 /      
Oh my Lord, to suffer like you do
                 /       

It would be a lie to run away
                 /   
It would be a lie to run away
                Dsus/       DsusF#  (Don't know last chord that it ends on)
It would be a lie to run away

* Repeat intro * x1
