Intro: 
G  x2 

1-2-1-2-3 Go! 



[Verso 1]
 
G 
   I walk on my toes because 
C            D            G 
   My mother walks on her heels 
But I'm beginning tounderstand 
C                 D            G 
   Understandthe way thatshe feels 
Frozen water on the ground 
C       D            G 
   Isa means to the end 
Only in the fall is relief found 
C             D 
   On the way down she grabs my hand 
 


[Refrão]
 
Em                 G 
  And during those seconds 
   Bm            D 
of weightlessness 
Em           G      Bm D 
  She can forget it all 
Em             G           Bm 
  All of those sad thoughts 
           D     Em 
Over which she obsesses 
          D     C   D 
She is in the moment 
 


[Verso 2]
 
       G 
As she falls I'm spinning 
on the floor again 
C                 D         G 
  My guts spilled onto the street 
Scraping knees and elbows on cement 
C                    D           G 
  Sharp stones they stab my bare feet 

Went swimming naked in the Grand 
C         D            G 
  River water burns my face 
I'm yelling pleading to my 
       C     D 
friends Just let me float away 
 


[Refrão]
 
Em                 G 
  And during those seconds 
   Bm            D 
of weightlessness 
Em             G  Bm D 
  I can forget it all 
Em                  G   Bm 
  I look up at the stars 
              D 
Let the water take me 
Em            D C   D 
  I am in the moment 
 


[Refrão]
 
     G      F#     Em     D    C 
As I fall I needed you so far away 
            D 
You pull me close but never stay 
G      F#       Em      D    C 
  This distance is your only way 
                D 
To stay together you must escape 
 


[Refrão]
 
G             F# 
  I needed you  so far away 
Em              D 
  To pull me in but never stay 
C 
  This distance is your only way 
D                             G 
  To stay together you must escape 
      F#     Em              D 
We're not so different after all 
  C                 D              G 
I reach for you you reach me as we fall
