INTRO:   C/G   Em    C/G   Em


VERSE:
C/G                     Em
  I've been walking the straight line,
F              G
  Living in my best friend's pocket
C/G                    Em      G
  I've been looking at my life all the time, all the time...
C/G         Em
  How can I do my work?
F                G
  Always looking over my shoulder


CHORUS:
Am                 G
   When everything falls apart
C/G                      F             
   When you meet a false heart
            G                F
   Then you   can't turn the pages
           G                F
   And you   can't find the door
               G        F
   When you're nobody's baby
            C                F       C  
   Not even close to falling through mine


VERSE:
We fill up every hour, hunger for the touch of money
Building crooked towers on a fault-line, fault-line, 
When I keep running to you, 
I was following the light from a dead star


CHORUS:
Then everything falls apart
When you make a false start
Then you can't turn the pages
And you can't find the door
When you're nobody's baby
Not even close to falling through mine


BRIDGE:
G
Weave me a rope from this dark despair, from this dull-eyed pain
G              F
Can't turn the pages
G
Weave me a rope from this endless night from this distant shore
G              F
Can't find the door
D
Weave me a rope that will pull me through these impossible times


C/G  Em    C/G  Em


VERSE:
I've been walking the straight line,
Been looking at my life all the time


CHORUS:
When everything falls apart
When you meet a false heart
And you can't turn the pages
And you can't find the door
When you're nobody's baby
         C/G              F   G   C/G
Not even close to falling through mine


CODA:
        C/G   F        Am
And you can't find the door
            C/G  F      C/G
When you're no - body's baby
         Am       C/G     F   G   C/G
Not even close to falling through mine
