Hanging by threads of palest silver 
I could have stayed that way forever 
Bad blood and ghosts wrapped tight around me 
Nothing could ever seem to touch me 
D#                  Cm 
I lose what I love most 
D#                   Cm 
Did you know I was lost until you found me 
  
 
Gm                           D#5 
Stroke of luck or gift from God? 
Gm                           D#5 
The hand of fate or devil's claws?

>From below or saints above? 
Gm          D#5 
You came to me 
Gm                       D#5 
Here comes the cold again 
Gm                   D#5 
I feel it closing in 
Gm                   D#5 
It's falling down and all around me, falling

You say that you'll be there to catch me 
Or will you only try to trap me 
D#                   Cm 
These are the rules I make

Our chains were meant to break 
You'll never change me

You're falling down and all around me, falling
