B5 
Falling 
F#5             E5 
Feels like I'm falling 
                B5                         F#5     E5 
Feels like I'm faaaaalling out of touch into a blur 
B5 
Calling 
  F#5           E5 
I haven't been calling 
           B5                       F#5     E5 
I stopped caaaaalling cause I only make it worse 
 


[Pré-Refrão]
 
         C#5 
So we'll stay 
              D#5    E5 
Like flowers in the rain 
                      C#5 
I tried washing you away 
                   D#5    E5 
Now I don't know what to do 
 


[Refrão]
 
B5                         F#5     E5 
   Ill strip the walls inside my room 
(E5) 
Cover myself in midnight blue 
B5                        F#5    E5 
   Picture you dancing, your tattoos 
                                C#5 
Stuck in our memories, I cant move 
                   D#5    E5 
And I dont know what to do 
       C#5          D#5    E5 
So Im... painting ooover you 
                    (B5)

Wanted 
         F#5            E5

                B5                                F#5       E5

[Pré-Refrão]
 
            C#5

              D#5       E5 
Like flowers ooon the grave 
                      C#5 
Like freckles on your face

Cover myself in midnight blue 
B5                        F#5    E5
