Intro     G5         Notes played    C#5 D5 B5

Riff 1 A5 A5 G5 G5   x3          G5 G5 G5 G5

D5            A5                        E5                        B5             
I just had a really bad fall and this time it was harder to get up than before 
  D5                            A5                 E5 (Hold)
I shouted to the heavens and a vision appeared I cried out "Can you help?",
     G5                    Riff1
it replied "Not at all" 
G5                      Riff 1   G5                    Riff 1  G5            
After the fall is over          You'll be on your own        After the fall is over 
            D5                  A5                         B5                G5
There'll be wrecks to clear in this war zone There'll be much to clean and time to atone 
    D5                       A5                   B5                          G5
But while it's dark you can shelter here In the bleak midwinter when you're feeling the fear 
                 E5 (hold)         A5           Riff 2 D5     A5   G5    D5 D5    Riff1
Ah, but when the mist clears, the sun will shine again 
  G5                           Riff1  G5                         Riff1 G5                           Riff1
A life's gotta have direction        After the deals are done        You gotta ask the question 
D5                    A5                      E5
Ask yourself why you go through it all When morality kicks in, 
         B5
who will catch you when you fall 
      D5                     A5                       E5
I'm a sinner waiting at the traveler's rest Seeking refuge from the storm , 
    B5
and I'm a grateful guest 
      D5                    A5
And a prophet cries out in high platitudes 
  E5                         B5
I smile and say, "Hey, I was just passing through" 
       D5                         A5
And an angel cries, "Wait, we'll tell you when to move" 
     E5                             D5                     Riff 1
Even at the gates of Heaven I'll be waiting in a queue 
G5                                Riff1  G5                            Riff1
Seems like I'm falling upwards          Into the great white blue 
G5                           Riff1
And all my imperfections 
  :..:  D5                    A5
You can learn your lines and fabricate a show 
        B5                    G5 :..:
But the way we come in, yeah, that's the way we're gonna go 

We cheat and lie to conquer our fears 

We can put on a smile just to cover up the tears
