Intro
    [2x]

Verse 1
                          
I'm not sure why it always goes downhill
                           
Why broken cisterns never could stay filled
                             
I've spent ten years singing gravity away
                                    
But the water keeps on falling from the sky

Verse 2
                                    
And here tonight while the stars are blacking out
                                 
With every hope and dream I've ever had in doubt
                                         
I've spent ten years trying to sing these doubts away
                                    
But the water keeps on falling from my eyes

Chorus
               
And heaven knows, heaven knows
                          
I try to find a cure for the pain
                     
Oh my Lord, to suffer like you do
                    F#11E  
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 ten years trying to sing it all away
                                    
But the water keeps on falling from my tries

Chorus
               
And heaven knows, heaven knows
                          
I try to find a cure for the pain
                     
Oh my Lord, to suffer like you do
                 
It would be a lie to run away
      
A lie to run
                  
It would be a lie
                  
It would be a lie to run away

Interlude
   

Bridge
           
It keeps on falling
        
It keeps on falling
           
It keeps on falling
        
It keeps on falling
                            
Water keeps on falling from my eyes

Chorus
               
And heaven knows, heaven knows
                          
I try 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
                      
It would be a lie to run away
