       G5               D5 
I am a tear, I've been here before 
           C5                D5  
I know her perfumed fingers 
           G5 
I know the cold, cold floor 
 
You look as if you don't 
              D5 
Understand me at all 
               C5            D5 
When she can't help herself 
        G5 
It's my job to fall 
 
I could tell you stories 
                   D5 
That you would not believe 
                C5     D5 
No,I am not the first 
                    G5 
There've been millions of me 
                                         D5 
Every time you leave her, every time you don't talk 
                           C5         D5 
She fights the weakness in her knees 
            G5 
But it's my job to fall 
 
 
D5 
Oh,it's my job to help her 
            C5               D5 
Through the long and lonely night 
 
To lead her into sleep 
              E5           F5   
When she give out with the fight 
    G5                           F5              E5 
Her heart's out of control, you always make it crawl 
                F5    D5 
But I serve the lover 
        C5              
It's my job to fall

           G5 
Love comes from the heart 
           D5 
But I come from the soul 
            C5              D5 
Love always shows its card 
           G5 
But I wait until you go 
 
But tonight her soul cried out for you 
                      D5 
And I had to back the call 
                    C5       D5 
You never should've seen me 
            G5 
But it's my job to fall 
 
 
D5 
Oh,it's my job to help her 
            C5               D5 
Through the long and lonely night 
 
To lead her into sleep 
              E5           F5 
When she give out with the fight 
    G5                           F5              E5 
Her heart's out of control, you always make it crawl 
                F5     D5 
But I serve the lover 
        C5            D5  C5 
It's my job to fall 
 
 
       G5               D5 
I am a tear, I've been here before 
           C5                D5 
I know her perfumed fingers 
                      F5  E5  C5  G5 
I know the cold, cold floor
