David Bowie - As The World Falls Down

as the world falls down ( 1986 )
david bowie

based on v2 agathoraphobia’s , transposed +3 to C , and including foojitsu’s suggestions
re bowie’s major/minor switches , and some changes of my own ( moving chords onto , or
closer to – depending on transposition – the right words , changing one chorus chord from
minor to sus2 ) .

C
there’s such a sad love
C Am
deep in your eyes , a kind of pale jewel
Am F
open and closed within your eyes
Fm C
i’ll place the sky within your eyes
C
there’s such a fooled heart
C Am
beating so fast in search of new dreams
Am F
a love that will last within your heart
Fm C
i’ll place the moon within your heart

( chorus )
