N.C.                D,  D/F#, Emin9(no 5), D
    I sent a picture

                      D,  D/F#, Emin9(no 5), D
To my very best friend

                                                 Em7
                      Em7         G           E --0--
And in the picture was me and my car          B --0--

      D D/F#, Emin9(no 5), D                  G --0--

        Em7                                   A --2--
If you wanna come and find me                 E --0---


I can leave you a sign
     G
My heart`s a little heavy

                           D, D/F#, Emin9(no 5), D
But the rest of me is well,  fine     oh      fine

Em                           G                    A --7-----5--

                    D,  D/F#, Emin9(no 5), D
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
