D#                       A#
Sad as a story, my rainy day girl
Sat on her hands in a sugar-free world
Mimed in a million video games
Bad to the bone like the garbage she's made

Fm                D#    
And the world is calling you
Fm                D#
Like a stranger stalling for you
Fm                D#
Like the pollen falling
            C# G# A#
Falling for you

Caught like a bug in a jar by the door
Sat like a specimen made to perform
She sits in her armchair and flutters and sighs
Bad to the bone like the garbage inside
She cries

Fm                D#    
And the world is calling you
Fm                D#
Like a stranger stalling for you
Fm                D#
Like the pollen falling
            C# G# A#
Falling for you

G#                D#
And the world is calling
Like a stranger stalling
Like the pollen there falling
            C#  G# A#
Falling for you

Sad as a story, my rainy day girl
Sat on her hands in a saccharine world
And I'm just someone who remembers her name
Bad to the bone like the garbage she's made

And the world is calling you
Like a stranger stalling for you
Like the pollen falling
Falling for you

Round the kerbs they're crawling
Round the backstreets they're bawling
Down the escalators they're falling
Falling for you
