artist : falling up
song : down here
album : midnight on earthship ( 2012 )
author : jessy ribordy

note : the song enters ( lyrically ) at 3/4 through the first measure ,
so the transition to Em7 ( from G ) in the first verse will be stuck
on the word “am . ” this overlap continues through the verses , with
the “end” of “g” starting on the first line .

verse 1 :
G Em7 Cadd9
all that i Am to all that you are
G
is one dimming flicker to millions of stars

G Em7 Cadd9
all that i have to all that you gave
G
is laboring breathing to blood in my veins

G Em7 Cadd9
and gold like the blood that had to be suffered
G Dsus4
so i could spend it away

chorus :
Cadd9 Em7 D Cadd9 ( loops )
’cause i’m down here i’m a little lower , a little further down
Cadd9 Em7 D
down here i’m a little lower , a little further down
Cadd9 Em7 D
down here i’m a little lower , a little further down
Cadd9 Em7 D Cadd9
down here i’m a little lower , a little further down

verse 2 :
Em7 Cadd9
i dream of kings , i dream of kingdoms
G
i dream of distance where speed can’t be tamed

G Em7 Cadd9
i speak of secrets , i speak of fame
G
im building constructs so they’ll know my name

G Em7 Cadd9
and when i Am older , and when i Am bored
G Dsus4
ill take up your promise

chorus :
Cadd9 Em7 D Cadd9 ( loops )
’cause i’m down here i’m a little lower , a little further down
Cadd9 Em7 D
down here i’m a little lower , a little further down
Cadd9 Em7 D
down here i’m a little lower , a little further down
Cadd9 Em7 D Cadd9
down here i’m a little lower , a little further down
