i picked up this lady in a store, she dropped her stuff
                        G
and tripped on it, so i picked her up
i said, everybody falls down


D
once you meet the man you want
       F
you'll know 'cause you see red
              G
like making honey 'til he stings you in the head

     F         D
fall down fall down

                              F
kate collected postcards when she felt too alone
           G
in case no friends of hers could get her on the phone

     F         D
fall down fall down


her husband was in line behind her
    F
not everybody falls down
          G
you're so old, i said, what happened?

D                              F
if you eat her lipstick you consume her jealous rage
     G
they get you in the mouth, those girls

     F         D
fall down fall down

                                  F
juan collected things in cans, he felt he wasn't safe

D                            F
nothing ever happens here, i said,
       G
i just wait

  D
i showed this guy my pictures
   F
he said they didn't breathe
         G
i said i painted them that way
kind of hanging on his sleeve

     F         D
fall down fall down


i showed this girl my stitches
    F
she said she had some too
             G
she said she thinks she'll start a rock band too

     F         D
fall down fall down

i hope you fall so fast and hard that you get me
