As The World Falls Down

Lyrics and music by David Bowie

 

(A - F#m - D - D7)

A
There's such a sad love
				     F#m
Deep in your eyes, a kind of pale jewel
				    D
Open and closed within your eyes
		   D7		  A
I'll place the sky within your eyes

A
There's such a fooled heart
				     F#m
Beating so fast in search of new dreams
				          D
A love that will last within your heart
		   D7		   A
I'll place the moon within your heart


CHORUS
  
Bm
As the pain sweeps through
	   F  
Makes no sense for you
	A  
Every thrill he's caused
	 F#m		     A  
Wasn't too much fun at all
			    F#7	  
But I'll be there for you-oo-oo
			 A
As the world falls down
F#m
Falling
D
(As the world) Falling down
D7	     A
Falling in love


I'll paint you mornings of gold

I'll spin you Valentine evenings
		 F#m
Though we're strangers till now
						D
We're choosing the path between the stars
D7					 A
I'll leave my love between the stars


CHORUS

F#m
Falling
A
(As the world) Falling down
F#m
Falling 
			 A
As the world falls down
F#m
Falling

F#m			A
Makes no sense at all
F#m			A
Makes no sense to fall

F#m			 A
As the world falls down

(A - F#m - A - F#m - D - D7)
