[Intro]
Gm7 Am7 Bb Bb7 Cm7 D#maj7
And it all falls down, yeah
Gm7 Am7 Bb Bb7 Cm7 D#maj7
And it all falls down again
Gm7 Am7 Bb Bb7 Cm7 D#maj7
And it all falls down, yeah
Gm7 Am7 Bb Bb7 Cm7 D#maj7
And it all falls down
[Verse 1]
Gm7 Am7 Bb Bb7
How can you learn how to swim before you get in?
Cm7 D#maj7
Sometimes you got to take the plunge just to get in
Gm7 Am7 Bb Bb7
Life's not full of shallow ends, your house ain't full of armbands
Cm7 D#maj7
Stay afloat, someone might put their arm out to help you
Gm7 Am7
I don't know, I would
Bb Bb7 Cm7 D#maj7
If I saw somebody drowning in a sea of self-confusion
Gm7 Am7 Bb Bb7
I wanna be the one to try and understand why their tide ain't coming in
Cm7 D#maj7
And their lighthouse ain't shining, mmm
[Chorus]
Gm7 Am7 Bb Bb7 Cm7
So why do we all fall down
D#maj7
If there's a reason we can stay afloat?
Gm7 Am7 Bb Bb7 Cm7
Why do we watch them drown?
D#maj7
We're too selfish in the lifeboats
Gm7 Am7 Bb Bb7 Cm7
Why do we all fall down
D#maj7
If there's a reason we can stay afloat?
Gm7 Am7 Bb Bb7 Cm7 D#maj7
Why do we watch them drown?
[Verse 2]
Gm7 Am7 Bb
So why are all the richest staying afloat?
Bb7 Cm7 D#maj7
Seeing all my brothers drowning even though they nicked the boat
Gm7
Mothership ain't helping anyone
Am7 Bb Bb7 Cm7
See, the ships are getting bigger, full of greedy wasteful men
D#maj7 Gm7 Am7 Bb
Soaking kids with the lies before they even got to ten
Bb7 Cm7 D#maj7
Sailing the internet waves, a tsunami of wires
Gm7 Am7 Bb Bb7 Cm7
A flood to take us under if we can't afford the life jackets
D#maj7
Majority don't even have the life jacket
Gm7 Am7 Bb Bb7 Cm7
Majority might fall where the tax brackets
D#maj7
The minority might jump to the next bracket
Gm7 Am7 Bb Bb7 Cm7
On a form to sign up for a raft and a pay packet
D#maj7
With the same old unemployed age bracket
Gm7 Am7 Bb Bb7 Cm7
Even money sinks to the bottom when it's waterlogged
D#maj7
So nobody truly stays afloat
Gm7 Am7 Bb Bb7 Cm7 D#maj7
[Chorus]
Gm7 Am7 Bb Bb7 Cm7
So why do we all fall down
D#maj7
If there's a reason we can stay afloat?
Gm7 Am7 Bb Bb7 Cm7
Why do we watch them drown?
D#maj7
We're too selfish in the lifeboats
Gm7 Am7 Bb Bb7 Cm7
Why do we all fall down
D#maj7
If there's a reason we can stay afloat?
Gm7 Am7 Bb Bb7 Cm7 D#maj7
Why do we watch them drown?
[Outro]
Gm7 Am7 Bb Bb7 Cm7 D#maj7
And it all falls down, yeah
Gm7 Am7 Bb Bb7 Cm7 D#maj7
And it all falls down again
Gm7 Am7 Bb Bb7 Cm7 D#maj7
And it all falls down, yeah
Gm7 Am7 Bb Bb7 Cm7 D#maj7
And it all falls down
