Capo 1

Intro:
A	D(arpeggio)
F#m E A
F#m E A


A
Oh the feeling, when you're reeling

E
You step lightly thinking you're number one

A					     E
Down to zero with a word leaving, for another one

F#m	  E				A
Now you won't put you're feet back on the ground

F#m	  	E			 A        D
Down to the ground down to the ground

F#m	  	E			 A
Down to the ground down to the ground



A
Brand new dandy, first class scene stealer

EWalks through the crowd and takes your man

	    A
Sends you rushing to the mirror

Brush your eyebrows and say

E
"There's more beauty in you than anyone"



F#m	  E			    A
Oh, remember who walked the warm sand beside you

F#m	  	   E			         A
Moored to your heel let the waves come rushing in

F#m	  	 E		     D
She took the worry from your head

But then again

She put trouble in your heart instead

And you fall

F#m	  	E			 A
Down to the ground down to the ground


E
You'll know heartache

					F#m		     A		 E
Still more crying when you're thinking of your mother's only son

Take to your bed

you say there's peace in sleep

    F#m	  	A	E
But you dream of love instead

	  A	  	       D
Oh, the heartache you'll find

	    F#m	  	   A		  E
Can bring more pain than a blistering sun


F#m  E	    A
But oh when you fall

F#m  E	A
Oh when you fall

F#m  		D     E	A
Fall at my door


Instrumental


Oh the feeling
when you're reeling
you step lightly thinking you're number one
Down to zero with a word
Leaving, for another one
Now you won't put you're feet back on the ground
Down to the ground down to the ground
Down to the ground down to the ground

You'll know heartache
Still more crying when you're thinking of your mother's only son
Take to your bed
You say there's peace in sleep
But you dream of love instead
But oh when you fall
Oh when you fall
Fall at my door
