    Falling Inside The Black Acoustic

  • Artist:

    Skillet

(2xh) = strum twice and hold the second
NO CAPO - Standard Tuning

[Intro tab:]
(its all on the high e string, so i just typed up that one string)

[Verse:]
Em
Tonight I'm so alone
C
This sorrow takes a hold
G
Don't leave me here so cold
D
(Never want to be so cold)
Em
Your touch used to be so kind
C
Your touch used to give me life
G
I've waited all this time,
D
I've wasted so much time

[Pre-Chorus:]
C                 D
Don't leave me alone
                        C
Cause I barely see at all
                  D   G
Don't leave me alone, I'm

[Chorus:]
C
Falling in the black
G
Slipping through the cracks
Em                          D
Falling to the depths can I ever go back
C                     G
Dreaming of the way it used to be
Em       D
Can you hear me?
C
Falling in the black
G
Slipping through the cracks
Em                             D
Falling to the depths can I ever go back
C           G       Em  D
Falling inside the black
C                 G            Em   D
Falling inside, falling inside the black

[Verse:]
Em
You were my source of strength
C
I've traded everything
G
That I love for this one thing
D
(Stranded in the offering)
Em
Don't leave me here like this
C
Can't hear me scream from the abyss
G                   D
And now I wish for you my desire

[Pre-Chorus:]
C                 D
Don't leave me alone
                       C
Cause I barely see at all
                 D    G
Don't leave me alone, I'm

[Chorus:]
C
Falling in the black
G
Slipping through the cracks
Em                          D
Falling to the depths can I ever go back
C                         G
Dreaming of the way it used to be
Em       D
Can you hear me?
C
Falling in the black
G
Slipping through the cracks
Em                          D
Falling to the depths can I ever go back
C        G        Em   D
Falling inside the black
C                 G             Em(2xh)       Em(2xh)
     Em(2xh)     Em(2xh)
Falling inside, falling inside ---the black, -----black, -----black, -----black

 (I usually just play the verse chords here... sooo.... Em, C, G, D and I usually
play it twice, very loudly to emphasize the power that i cant really tab on an acoustic
guitar - and on the last D, i hold it out an extra measure and add in a suspension, so 
it's more like a Dsus2 chord :D )

[Chorus:]
C
Falling in the black
G
Slipping through the cracks
Em                           D
Falling to the depths can I ever go back
C                        G
Dreaming of the way it used to be
Em      D
Can you hear me?
C
Falling in the black
G
Slipping through the cracks
Em                           D
Falling to the depths can I ever go back
C         G         (this would be where i put Em, but this line merges with the next one)
Falling inside the black
Em      D
Can you hear me?
C         G        (same as above)
Falling inside the black
Em      D
Can you hear me?
C         G      (yes, it just keeps repeating...)
Falling inside the black
Em      D
Can you hear me?
C
Falling inside
G                Em       D
Falling inside, falling inside
     Em
The black!
