C/E o G
* * * *
Oh the feeling

C/E G
* *
when you're reeling

(C)D
you step lightly thinking you're number one

C/E o G
* * * *
down to zero with a

C/E G

word leaving

(C)D
for another one


Em D G
now you walk with your feet back on the ground

(C)Em D G /b /c
down to the ground, down to the ground

Em D G
down to the ground, down to the ground


C/E o G
* * * *
brand new dandy

C/E G
* *
first class scene stealer

D
walks through the crowd and takes your man

C/E o G
* * * *
sends you rushing to the mirror

C/E G
* *
brush your eyebrows and say

(C)D
there's more beauty in you than anyone


Em D G
oh remember who walked the warm sand beside you

(C)Em D G
?move to your heel? let the waves come rushing in

Em D C
she took the worry from your head


C
but then again she put trouble in your heart instead

and you fall

Em D G
down to the ground, down to the ground


C o D
* * * *
you know heartache
C D
* *
still more crying

Em G D
when you're thinking of your mothers only son

C o D
* * * *
you take to your bed


C D
* *
you say there's peace in sleep

Em G D
but you dream of lo-ove instead oh

C Em
the heartache you'll find can bring

G Em D
more pain than the blistering sun

Em (D) G
but oh, when you fall

Em (D) G C
but oh, when you fall you fall at my

C/E D G G
door

chords

xx2010 - C/E
xx0000 - o (?G+6)
320003 - G
xx0232 - D
022000 - Em
x32010 - C

* is a strum, to give some idea of timing in the verses

small case letters are individual notes, (not chords)

h is a hammer on

p is a pull off

(C)D, (C)Em, etc. means strum the C real quick, then change *immediately*
to the next chord...sometimes she misses out the C entirely

in the intro & outro, emphasise the low notes in the D (=?D5 (xx023x))
