VERSE1:
Chords:
A   577655
F#m 244222
D   x57775

A             F#m            D       A
  Falling for you was always falling up
        F#m               D          A
Leather books and surplus government chairs
            F#m          D               A
I rose like smoke or the steam from your cup
             F#m            D
A little the feed where the lighter flares


CHORUS1:
Chords:
A   577655    
D   x57775
Em  x79987

    A                           D
You might have found some other reason
   A                     Em
To burn me like a tissue screen
       D                  | A    D A | Asus2 A |
But my heart is a poor judge
Em   D                   | A    D A | D A | 
  It harbours an old grudge


VERSE2:
Chords:
A   577655
F#m 244222
D   x57775

A             F#m       D          A
  Falling for you was a walk off a cliff
             F#m          D           A
A dream of a car with the brake-lines cut
         F#m         D          A
The only way you can stop it is if
          F#m                D
You turn around and keep the windows shut


CHORUS2:
Chords:
A  577655 and x02220   Em    x79987
D  x57775              Asus4 x02230

    A                           D
You might have found some other reason
   A                       Em
To leave me in that dark ravine
       D                  | A Asus4 |
But my heart is a poor judge
Em   D                    | A   D A | 
  It harbours an old grudge

G                 D      | A D |
  And I can see a light on
G                  D        G            D  A | Em A |
Calling me back to make the same mistake   again
             Em          D
And I'll say no when you ask me
A                   D
No when you ask me, no when you ask again
         Em           D        A
'Cause I won't let it pass me, won't let it pass me again
                     D                  Dsus2
Won't let it past to see that I'm last again

D   x57775

A           F#m       D          A
Falling for you was a last ditch plan
             F#m          D            A     
You sized me up with your thumb on the scale
          F#m           D           A
I came up short but you do what you can
             F#m         D
The hammer's nothing without the nail

    A                         D

   A                    Em
To lead me to the guillotine
         D                  | A  Asus4 | Em
But your heart is a poor judge
   D                   | A   D A |
It harbours an old grudge
