Dsus2       A  
       You fell out of the sky when you were twenty one,
      F#m
Your bomber took a bullet from a German gun,
         Bm                          G
Did you think about your wife, your brief and tender life?
Esus4                           E
       Did you pray to anyone?

                               A        
How does it feel when you're falling?
                          F#m
Can you hear sweet angels...  calling?
       Bm                           G
Is it empty up in space?  Did you touch God's holy face?
        Esus4                   E
Did you tremble?  Did you cry?
                 Dsus2
Did you fall, or...    did you fly?
 
   A                         Dsus2
|  /  /  /  / |  /  /  /  / |  /  /  /  / |  /  /  /  / |


Dsus2       A  
       You fell out of your life when you were forty three,
    F#m
You saw her, and thought she was your destiny,
         Bm                             G
You've wandered from the path, and we cursed your aftermath,
            Esus4            E
But that's ancient history!

                               A        
How does it feel when you're falling?
                          F#m
Can you hear sweet angels...  calling?
       Bm                           G
Is it empty up in space?  Did you touch God's holy face?
        Esus4                   E
Did you tremble?  Did you cry?
                 Dsus2
Did you fall, or...    did you fly?
 
   A                         Dsus2

Bm              A           Dmaj7
    You make it so damn hard...  to love you,
Bm                A         Dmaj7
    I don't know why I even...   try,
Bm             A          Dmaj7
    And all I ever wanted  of  you...
A                F#m                 Dmaj7
...Is to take me with you...when you fly---!


Dsus2       A  
       You fell out of my life one last time today,
  F#m
I held your hand, and watched, as you slipped away,
     Bm                             G
You cast your pilot's eye to the endless open sky,
Esus4                              E
       And I sent you on your way!

                               A        
How does it feel when you're falling?
                          F#m
Can you hear sweet angels...  calling?
       Bm                           G
Is it empty up in space?  Did you touch God's holy face?
        Esus4                   E
Did you tremble?  Did you cry?
                 Dsus2
Did you fall, or...    did you fly?
 
   A                         Dsus2                       Asus2   A
