   Am         G 
It feels like falling. 
C  F          C 
It feels like rain. 
     Am  C      G 
Like losing my balance 
Em Dm       Am 
Ag—ain and again. 
    F       Am  G 
It once was so easy; 
        C           F 
Breathe in, breathe out. 
           Am      C    G 
But at the foot of this mountain, 
C F        C 
I only see clouds. 


  Am          G 
I feel out of focus, 
C       F        C 
Or at least indisposed 
           Am        C  G 
As this strange weather pattern 
 Em Dm          Am 
Inside me takes hold. 
        F       Am  G 
Each brave step forward, 
          C           F 
I take three steps behind. 
      A     C  G 
It's mind over matter – 
    C  F    C 
Matter over mind. 


Dm C Am G 
Slowly, 
Am    G  C  F 
then all at once. 
   Dm C  Am   G 
A single loose thread 
Am     G         C   F 
And it all comes undone. 


Am              G 
Where there is light, 
C F         C 
A shadow appears. 
      Am      C  G 
The cause and effect 
Em   Dm         Am 
When life interferes. 
      F       Am  G 
The same rule applies 
    C           F 
To goodness and grief; 
    Am      C    G 
For in our great sorrow 
   C     F        C 
We learn what joy means. 


Dm 
I don't want to fight, I don't want to fight it. 
G 
I don't want to fight, I don't want to fight it. 
Am                              G 
I don't want to fight, I don't want to fight it. 
F 
But I will learn to fight, I will 


Dm                                 G 
'Til this pendulum finds equilibrium. 

Dm--C--G 

Dm C Am G 
Slowly, 
Am   G   C  F 
then all at once. 
    Dm   Am       G 
The dark clouds depart, 
        Am  G  C  F 
And the damage is done. 
Dm Am          G 
So pardon the dust 
           Am  G   C   F 
While this all settles in. 
       Dm C Am   G 
With a broo-oken heart, 
        Am  C    F 
Transformation begins.
