Intro: G Gsus G Em C G
G Em C G
Falling for you was always falling up
Em C G
Leather books and surplus government chairs
C G
I rose like smoke or the steam from your cup
Em C
Away the feed where the lighter flares
G C
You might have had some other reason
G Dm
To burn me like a tissue screen
C G C G Dm
But my heart is a poor judge
C G C G C G
It harbors an old grudge
G Em C G
Falling for you was a walk off a cliff
Em C G
A dream of a car with the break lines cut
C G
The only way you can stop it is if
Em C
You turn around and keep the windows shut
G C
You might have had some other reason
G Dm
To leave me in that dark ravine
C G C G Dm
But my heart is a poor judge
C G C G C G
It harbors an old grudge
F C G. C
And I can see a light on
Dm C F
Calling me back to make the same mistake
C G
Again
Dm C
And I'll say no when you ask me
Gm7 F Csus2
No when you ask me, no when you ask again
Dm C Gm7
'Cause I won't let it pass me, won't let it pass me
F C Csus2 G C G Em C G
Won't let it past to see that I'm last again
G Em C G
Falling for you was a last ditch plan
Em C G
You sized me up with your thumb on the scale
C G
I came up short but you do what you can
Em C
The hammer's nothing without the nail
G C
You might have had some other reason
G Dm
To leave me to the guillotine
C G. Dm
But your heart is a poor judge
C G C
It harbors an old grudge
F C. G. C
I can see a light on

Calling me back to make the same mistake

Again
