E MajorE  F# minorF#m  A augmentedA


🎸 Verse 1:
E MajorE           F# minorF#m          A augmentedA
A minorAm I a faulty kind of man so tender in the heart?
E MajorE             F# minorF#m          A augmentedA
Are clues embedded in my hands, a horoscope of cards
E MajorE              F# minorF#m          A augmentedA
No, I'm no special grain of sand or undiscovered star
E MajorE              F# minorF#m         A augmentedA
If there's a great and holy plan I'd rather have no part

🎸 Pre-Chorus:
G# minorG#m
Ain't that the way, ain't that the way
       A augmentedA
You always unwind my head, unmake the bed like Sunday, G# minorG#m
Ain't that the way, ain't that the way
       A augmentedA                         E MajorE
You get me talking to the dead and questioning if I'm alive at all

🎸 Chorus:
E MajorE           A augmentedA
 Why every morning waking up
  G# minorG#m           BB          E MajorE
Must I try not to fall, must I try not to fall apart?
           C# minorC#m
You take me in your grateful arms
  G# minorG#m          BB          E MajorE
And I try not to fall, oh I try not to fall apart
          A augmentedA
It's not the way a man like me behaves
G# minorG#m          BB             E MajorE
It's not the way the world would have me play my part
           C# minorC#m
Then why does every fibre shake
 G# minorG#m          BB          E MajorE
As I try not to fall, as I try not to fall apart?

🎸 Verse 2:
E MajorE         F# minorF#m           A augmentedA
A minorAm I a lone unlucky man, no shimmer to my soul?
E MajorE            F# minorF#m           A augmentedA
A minorAm I a spindle wound too tight, a fraction of a whole
E MajorE              F# minorF#m         A augmentedA
No, I've no party tricks, my hand is empty as a vault
E MajorE                 F# minorF#m          A augmentedA
If there's a charge, oh then I'll stand and do the time for every fault

🎸 Pre-Chorus:
G# minorG#m
Ain't that the way, ain't that the way
      A augmentedA
You always unwind my head, unmake the bed like Sunday
G# minorG#m
Ain't that the way, ain't that the way
      A augmentedA
You get me talking to the dead and questioning if I'm alive at all

🎸 Chorus:
E MajorE           A augmentedA
 Why every morning waking up
  G# minorG#m           BB          E MajorE
Must I try not to fall, must I try not to fall apart?
           C# minorC#m
You take me in your grateful arms
  G# minorG#m          BB          E MajorE
And I try not to fall, oh I try not to fall apart
          A augmentedA
It's not the way a man like me behaves
G# minorG#m          BB             E MajorE
It's not the way the world would have me play my part
           C# minorC#m
Then why does every fibre shake
 G# minorG#m          BB          E MajorE
As I try not to fall, as I try not to fall apart?

As I try not to fall apart

As I try not to fall apart
  BB          E MajorE
As I try not to fall apart
