  			C#m 			F# 		    C#m  
Once was a man who consumed his place and time 

			   F# 
He thought nothing could touch him 

C#m 			     F# 	 C#m 
But here and now it's a different storyline 

		       F# 
Like the straw he is clutching 



G#m 			B 
Why has the sky turned grey 

G#m 		      B 
Hard to my face and cold on my shoulder 

G#m 			     B 
And why has my life gone astray 

G#m 			 B 
Scarred by disgrace, I know that its over 


Chorus: 

C#m                   F# 
Because I'm falling down 

C#m                    F# 
With people standing round 

C#m                      F# 
But before I hit the ground 

Is there time 

       C#m              F#  C#m 
Could I find someone out there to help me? 


C#m                         F#        C#m 
Howl at the wind rushing past my lonely head 

                          F# 
Caught inside in slow motion 

C#m                   F#  
How I wish it was somebody else instead 

C#m                       F#  
Howling at all this corrosion 


G#m                   B 
Why did the luck run dry 

G#m                    B 
Laugh in my face, so pleased to desert me 

G#m                     B 
Why do the cruel barbs fly? 

G#m                      B 
Now when disgrace can no longer hurt me 

{chrous} 

You see I'm falling down 
With people standing round 
But before I hit the ground 
Is there time 
Could I find someone out there to help me? 

I don't know. Why?
