this isn’t correct if you’re trying to sing along with the album version , but i’ve
been covering this song with these chords for a while now and it sounds great .

capo 4 ( all chords relative to capo )

intro ( repeat 2x ) : C , G , D , Em ( hammer on/off of the “a” string )

verse i :

C
G D Em C
i’m not sure why it always goes downhill
G D Em
why broken cisterns never could stay filled
C
i’ve spent

chorus i :

G D Em
ten years singing gravity away
C G D Em
but the water keeps on falling from the sky

verse ii :

C
G D Em C
so here tonight while the stars are blacking out
G D Em
with every hope and dream i’ve ever had in doubt
C
i’ve spent

chorus ii :

G D Em
ten years trying to sing these doubts away
C G D
but the water keeps on falling from my eyes
C G D Em C
and heaven knows , heaven knows
G D
i tried to find a cure for the pain
C G D Em C
oh my lord , to suffer like you do
G D C
it would be a lie to run away

G , D , Em , C

verse iii :

G D Em C
so blood is fire pulsing through our veins
G D Em
we’re either riders , or fools behind the reigns
C
i’ve spent

chorus ii

bridge :
C
G D
it keeps on falling
Em C
it keeps on falling

it keeps on falling

it keeps on falling
C G D
and the water keeps on falling from my eyes

ending :

C
G D C
it would be a lie to run away
