Intro:
FF E minorEm DmDm C majorC G+G A minorAm G+G


Verse 1:
FF      E minorEm          DmDm       C majorC
 You used to float just like a boat, upon the tide
FF      E minorEm            DmDm        C majorC
 You used to run when things were done, you used to hide
FF      E minorEm           DmDm         C majorC
 You talk of ships, you talk of boats, you talk of games
FF        E minorEm          DmDm        C majorC
 And now you're down, you ain't around, its such a shame

Pre-Chorus:
    C majorC  G+G  FF        C majorC
'Cause you got something to give
  Bb majorBb      A minorAm  G minorGm       FF
Something to hold onto, why don't you live
  FF      C majorC     Bb majorBb     FF
And you just forget about fixing up fate
Bb majorBb        A minorAm        G minorGm
Maybe you'd stop, pick yourself up, now its too late, Oh


Chorus:
FF     Eb MajorEb        Bb majorBb C majorC
 It ain't easy when you fall
FF     Eb MajorEb        Bb majorBb C majorC
 It ain't easy when you fall
FF     Eb MajorEb        Bb majorBb
 It ain't easy when you fall
    C majorC          FF C majorC DmDm C majorC G+G A minorAm G+G
No, it ain't no good at all


Verse 2:
FF      E minorEm          DmDm         C majorC
 You didn't know this world ain't slow, you gotta move
FF      E minorEm          DmDm            C majorC
 You made no sound, I watched you drown, I watched you lose
FF      E minorEm          DmDm       C majorC
 Your loneliness, you knew it best, but its a drag
FF       E minorEm      DmDm          C majorC
'Cause in the end, I lost a friend, I feel so sad

Pre-Chorus:
    C majorC  G+G  FF        C majorC
'Cause you had something to give
  Bb majorBb      A minorAm  G minorGm      FF
Something to hold onto, why did you live
  FF      C majorC     Bb majorBb     FF
If you just forgot about fixing up fate
Bb majorBb       A minorAm       G minorGm
You'd be here, you'd be near, now it's too late, Oh


Chorus:
FF     Eb MajorEb        Bb majorBb C majorC
 It ain't easy when you fall
FF     Eb MajorEb        Bb majorBb C majorC
 It ain't easy when you fall
FF     Eb MajorEb        Bb majorBb
 It ain't easy when you fall
    C majorC          FF  Eb MajorEb Bb majorBb
No, it ain't no good at all, Oh,  hey
