Fall From Grace

Am

[Verse]
Am
I choose to be his confidant
             G
And to keep him from the fire
F                       G                          Am
I choose to be quietly discreet if that is his desire
                        G                F
I touch with gossamer wings to be quiet around you
                         Dm
There is so much going on you could easily
Am               Em
Wake up with a stranger

[Chorus]
        F                    C
it's not something  that you plan
Dm             C
One night in a world of pain
          F            G
And you finally understand
    Am               D          G             Dm
Not all the king's horses, not all the king's men
F                     D
Could put it back together

[Turn Around]
Am    G

[Verse]
Am                                 G
You say you wouldn't do this for very long
     F                      G
The applause from it all is so defining
Am                      G
Well it bounces off the wall at you
     F                   G        Am
When the miracle is happening
                        G
High priestess...she's the keeper of the peace in this
F               C         G       Am                    G
Twice as much, intensified             what people will do
     F   D
To get...this...high

[Chorus]
      F
It's not something you plan
Dm             C
One night in a world of pain
          F            G
And you finally understand
    Am              D           G
Not all the king's horses, not all the king's men
F                     D
Could put it back together

[Turn Around]
Am

[Verse]
Am
And now alone in my room as it all begins again
Am
Was I so wrong why am I always so intense
Am
In this same place I sit the same place as before
Am
Well I came all the way here
                                                  F    G
Just to watch you walk out that do     -          or

[Verse]
Am
I didn't ask when you shook your head
C
I always accepted what you said
F                             G
As the truth and the truth only
         Am
Well it's not enough that you depend on me
        G                                     F
And it's not enough that you say you love me
                            D
It's not enough to just save face
          Am  Em    F             G         Am    Em
Because sometimes,       you just fall from grace
F    G  Am     Em    F                       Am   Em   F    G
        Sometimes,        you just fall from grace

[Solo]
D     Am

[Verse]
Am
Maybe I am calmer now maybe things are fine
Am
Maybe I made the whole thing up
                  G
Maybe it isn't a lie
Am
Maybe the reason I say these things
      G
Is to bring you back alive
Am
Maybe I fought this long and this hard

Just to make sure you  -  survi    -    ve
        D                Am
Just to make sure you -  survi    -     ve
