     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:]
CFalling (x32010@1)in the black
GSlipping (320003@1)through the cracks
Em (022000@1)                         DFalling (xx0232@1)to the depths can I ever go back
C (x32010@1)                      GDreaming (320003@1)of the way it used to be
Em (022000@1)    DCan (xx0232@1)you hear me?
CFalling (x32010@1)in the black
GSlipping (320003@1)through the cracks
Em (022000@1)                         DFalling (xx0232@1)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 (022000@1)    DCan (xx0232@1)you hear me?
C (x32010@1)       G (320003@1)      (same as above)
Falling inside the black
Em (022000@1)    DCan (xx0232@1)you hear me?
C         G      (yes, it just keeps repeating...)
Falling inside the black
Em (022000@1)    DCan (xx0232@1)you hear me?
CFalling (x32010@1)inside
G (320003@1)              Em (022000@1)     DFalling (xx0232@1)inside, falling inside
     EmThe (022000@1)black!
