It Ends With A Fall

C G
Wish I could remember why it mattered to me
Dm F C
It doesn’t matter to me, it doesn’t matter to me anymore
Am G
Now that you’re feeling fine
F
I’ll admit that though
C G
I know it’s coming down and see it shattering me
Dm F C
it doesn’t matter to me and I’m not sadder for seeing it come
Am G
I’m not going to run, I will just come
F?
when I am called
Chorus 1:
Dm G Dm G
You want to cut me off because I took too much
F
but don’t leave me alone
Am G
take off your scarves, your winter coat
F Fm
The night’s too cold.
When we met I should have said you’re like a sister to me
how all that kiss her just seem like puny suitors I can see through
how none will do, no not for you
how it might as well just be us two
And when I pulled you by the jacket from the clattering street
you started flattering me, you started saying I was so strong
String me along, but I can’t become
all that I’m called
Chorus 2:
And I can’t claim to know what makes love die or grow
but I can still take control
and so refuse to just go home
Back down the hall
Chorus 3:
And as I crawl, as finally all the false confetti blooms
up in this attic room,
I’m going make my stand, I want to see both of your hands
Put down the phone
I won’t let you go, although the moment stole
my self-control
end with a fall
