                   C5                Ab5             Bb5 
                 the more things tumble and fall away 
                 C5             Ab5         Eb5        Bb5 
               and i can hear by the way that you sigh

                C5                  Ab5               Bb5 
             that the sky just seems to get further away

           and i can tell by the way that you're breathing 
              Ab5            C5                         G5 
          that you're not sure if you'll make it this way.

       C5                         Ab5                        Bb5

                       Ab5                C5            
                 the harder i try, the harder it gets.

               sometimes seems like the harder you love 
                 C5                Ab5                Bb5 
                 it's just like sowing in a minefield
