To my very best friend

If you wanna come and find me         E --0---


I can leave you a sign

Of reaping what I sow

                 Em7     G
Hey, oh it`s getting clearer that all that I love

Uh, Every now and then it gets too dark to see
Too dark to see just what`s in front of me
Every now and then I fall off the edge, right off the ledge
Heels over head
And I`m giving in from trying
Am I really falling or flying?
Am I really living or dying?
Am I really falling,
       A
Falling or flying?



OUTRO: Play this over and over until the end
    D  D/F# Emin9(no 5)  D

I`m falling up now
Hey, I`m falling up now
That`s right
I`m falling up now
I`m falling up c`mon c`mon
Send me a picture
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
From everywhere that you`ve been
Hey, and then honey c`mon, c`mon, c`mon
And sing it like a polaroid
Yeah-aaah oh oh
And I`m falling up now
