[Intro]
G C x4
[Verse 1]
G C/G
Watching TV tired, bleeding on the bed
G C/G
The milk has just expired, all the leaves are dead
G C/G
I’m not quiet, you’ve been quiet — just receiving what you said
G C/G
Reeling, feeding, feeling filled by everything you fed
G C/G
I see you as you see yourself through all the books you read
G C/G
Overwhelmed with guilt and realizing the disease
[Chorus]
G C/G
You give me chills, I’ve had it with the drills
G C/G
I’m nothing, you are nothing, we are nothing with the pills
G C/G
I’m empty till she fills, alive until she kills
G C/G
In her vampire empire, I am
G C/G
Falling, yeah
G C/G
Falling, yeah
[Verse 2]
G C/G
I see you there rejecting all your earthly power
G C/G
Protecting and dissecting till you’ve emptied every hour
G C/G
We jump into the pond, then we come under the shower
G C/G
You lay upon my pillow and you open like a flower
G C/G
I wanted to see you naked, I wanted to hear you scream
G C/G
Wanted to kiss your skin and your everything
G C/G
I wanted to be your woman, I wanted to be your man
G C/G
I wanted to be the one that you could understand
[Chorus]
G C/G
You give me chills, I’ve had it with the drills
G C/G
I’m nothing, you are nothing, we are nothing with the pills
G C/G
I’m empty till she fills, alive until she kills
G C/G
In her vampire empire, I am
G C/G
Falling, yeah
G C/G
Falling, yeah
[Bridge]
G C/G
Oh, oh
G C/G
Oh, oh
G C/G
Oh, oh
G C/G
Oh, ah
[Verse 3]
N.C. N.C.
Well, I’ve walked into your dagger for the last time
N.C. N.C.
It’s like trying to start a fire with matches in the snow
N.C. N.C.
Where you can’t seem to hold me, can’t seem to let me go
N.C. N.C.
So I can’t find surrender and I can’t keep control
G C/G
You turn me inside out and then you want the outside in
G C/G
You spin me all around, then you ask me not to spin
G C/G
You say you want to be alone and you want children
G C/G
You wanna be with me, you wanna be with him
[Chorus]
G C/G
You give me chills, I’ve had it with the drills
G C/G
I’m nothing, you are nothing, we are nothing with the pills
G C/G
I’m empty till she fills, alive until she kills
G C/G
In her vampire empire, I am
G C/G
Falling, yeah
G C/G
Falling, yeah
G C/G
Falling, yeah
G C/G
Falling, yeah
G C/G
Falling, yeah
