C/E o

* * * *

Oh the feeling

* *

when you're reeling

(C)

you step lightly thinking you're number one

C/E o

* * * *

down to zero with a

* *

word leaving

(C)

for another one

now you walk with your feet back on the ground

(C)

G /

B /

down to the ground, down to the ground

down to the ground, down to the ground

C/E o

* * * *

brand new dandy

* *

first class scene stealer

walks through the crowd and takes your man

C/E o

* * * *

sends you rushing to the mirror

* *

brush your eyebrows and say

(C)

there's more beauty in you than anyone

oh remember who walked the warm sand beside you

(C)

?move to your heel? let the waves come rushing in

she took the worry from your head

but then again she put trouble in your heart instead

and you fall

down to the ground, down to the ground

C o

* * * *

you know heartache

* *

still more crying

when you're thinking of your mothers only son

C o

* * * *

you take to your bed

* *

you say there's peace in sleep

but you dream of lo-ove instead oh

the heartache you'll find can bring

more pain than the blistering sun

Em (

D)

but oh, when you fall

Em (

D)

but oh, when you fall you fall at my

door

chords

xx0000 - o (?G+6)

022000 - Em

* 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))
