I Fall Apart chords by Elton John

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Verse 1:
    C        Bb/C
Without you, I no longer swim upstream.
F/A
Where are you when I try to fill
Ab7
the spaces in between?
C
The red letter days
Bb/C
   and all the pain,
     F/A
And while I remain shipwrecked
Ab7
 everything has changed.

Chorus:
       C
And I fall apart
                                       E/B
with this threat of indecision hanging in my heart.
                      Am              D/F#
This house can get so lonely when the day grows dark.
        F               Ab               G7
And it seems to be the nighttime when I fall apart.


Verse 2:
C
 Can't you tell the shadows
Bb/C
no longer comfort me?
  F/A
I don't feel the need to cling to
Ab7
  anyone I see.
C
 This fool's suffered gladly
Bb/C
  each and every day.
  F/A
I don't wish to reconsider,
Ab7
 I wish they'd stay away.


Chorus:
       C
And I fall apart
                                       E/B
with this threat of indecision hanging in my heart.
                      Am              D/F#
This house can get so lonely when the day grows dark.
        F               Ab               G7
And it seems to be the nighttime when I fall apart.


Bridge:
Ab
  I've no care to count
Db/Ab
  the stares that pity me.
Ab/Eb
  I'll wash your hurt away
Gb
  just you wait and see.
Fdim
  For every rose you give her
Bdim
  I'll give her three.
    F               Ab                  G
But in the meantime I'll just wish that she was me.


Chorus:
       C
And I fall apart
                                       E/B
with this threat of indecision hanging in my heart.
                      Am              D/F#
This house can get so lonely when the day grows dark.
        F               Ab               G7
And it seems to be the nighttime when I fall apart.
