         Oh the feeling

  C/E   G
    *   *
         when you're reeling

     (C)D
         you step lightly thinking you're number one

C/E   o G
  * * * *
         down to zero with a

  C/E   G
    *   *
         word     leaving

       (C)D
            for another one


Em       D                               G
now you walk with your feet back on the ground

(C)Em            D                   G   /b /c
   down to the ground, down to the ground

C/E   o G
  * * * *
         sends you rushing to the mirror

  C/E   G
    *   *
         brush your eyebrows and say

       (C)D
            there's more beauty in you than anyone

      oh remember who walked the warm sand beside you

(C)Em                D                        G
      ?move to your heel? let the waves come rushing in

Em                 D               C
     she took the worry from your head


C
but then again she put trouble in your heart instead

and you fall

Em               D                   G
   down to the ground, down to the ground


  C   o D
  * * * *
         you know heartache
    C   D
    *   *
         still more crying

              Em              G            D
when you're thinking of your mothers only son

  C   o D
  * * * *
         you take to your bed


    C   D
    *   *
         you say there's peace in sleep

     Em           G         D
but you dream of lo-ove instead   oh

     C                Em
the heartache you'll find can bring

G                    Em        D
more pain than the blistering sun

Em     (D)            G
    but oh, when you fall

Em     (D)            G          C
    but oh, when you fall   you fall at my

    C/E   D    G    G
    door

chords

xx2010 - C/E
xx0000 - o (?G+6)
320003 - G
xx0232 - D
022000 - Em
x32010 - C

* is a strum, to give some idea of timing in the verses

small case letters are individual notes, (not chords)

h is a hammer on

p is a pull off

(C)D, (C)Em, etc. means strum the C real quick, then change *immediately*
to the next chord...sometimes she misses out the C entirely

in the intro & outro, emphasise the low notes in the D (=?D5 (xx023x))
