Capo 4 
 
C D C G 
 
       G               D 
I am a tear, I've been here before 
           C                D  
I know her perfumed fingers 
           G 
I know the cold, cold floor 
 
You look as if you don't 
              D 
Understand me at all 
               C            D 
When she can't help herself 
        G 
It's my job to fall 
 
 
 
I could tell you stories 
                   D 
That you would not believe 
                C     D 
No,I am not the first 
                    G 
There've been millions of me 
                                         D 
Every time you leave her, every time you don't talk 
                           C         D 
She fights the weakness in her knees 
            G 
But it's my job to fall 
 
 
D 
Oh,it's my job to help her 
            C               D 
Through the long and lonely night 
 
To lead her into sleep 
              Em           F   
When she give out with the fight 
    G                           F              Em 
Her heart's out of control, you always make it crawl 
                F    D 
But I serve the lover 
        C              
It's my job to fall 
 
 
D C D Em F D 
 
 
           G 
Love comes from the heart 
           D 
But I come from the soul 
            C              D 
Love always shows its card 
           G 
But I wait until you go 
 
But tonight her soul cried out for you 
                      D 
And I had to back the call 
                    C       D 
You never should've seen me 
            G 
But it's my job to fall 
 
 
D 
Oh,it's my job to help her 
            C               D 
Through the long and lonely night 
 
To lead her into sleep 
              Em           F 
When she give out with the fight 
    G                           F              Em 
Her heart's out of control, you always make it crawl 
                F     D 
But I serve the lover 
        C            D  C 
It's my job to fall 
 
 
       G               D 
I am a tear, I've been here before 
           C                D 
I know her perfumed fingers 
                      F  Em  C  G 
I know the cold, cold floor
