I just had a really bad fall and this time it was harder to get up than before  
  D                            A                 Em (Hold) 
I shouted to the heavens and a vision appeared I cried out "Can you help?", 
     G                    Riff1 
it replied "Not at all"  
G                      Riff 1   G                    Riff 1  G             
After the fall is over          You'll be on your own        After the fall is over

There'll be wrecks to clear in this war zone There'll be much to clean and time to atone  
    D                       A                   Bm                          G 
But while it's dark you can shelter here In the bleak midwinter when you're feeling the fear  
                 Em (hold)         A           Riff 2D     A   G    D D    Riff1 
Ah, but when the mist clears, the sun will shine again  
  G                           Riff1  G                         Riff1 G                           Riff1 
A life's gotta have direction        After the deals are done        You gotta ask the question  
D                    A                      Em 
Ask yourself why you go through it all When morality kicks in,  
         Bm 
who will catch you when you fall  
      D                     A                       Em 
I'm a sinner waiting at the traveler's rest Seeking refuge from the storm,  
    Bm 
and I'm a grateful guest  
      D                    A 
And a prophet cries out in high platitudes  
  Em                         Bm 
I smile and say, "Hey, I was just passing through"  
       D                         A 
And an angel cries, "Wait, we'll tell you when to move"  
     Em                             D                     Riff 1 
Even at the gates of Heaven I'll be waiting in a queue  
G                                Riff1  G                            Riff1 
Seems like I'm falling upwards          Into the great white blue  
G                           Riff1 
And all my imperfections  
    D                    A 
You can learn your lines and fabricate a show  
        Bm                    G  
But the way we come in, yeah, that's the way we're gonna go  
We cheat and lie to conquer our fears  
We can put on a smile just to cover up the tears
