[Verse 1]

G                           C

Watching TV tired, bleeding on the bed

    G                              C

The milk has just expired, all the leaves are dead

        G                                C

I'm not quiet, you've been quiet, just receiving what you said

G                                   C

Reeling, feeding, feeling filled by everything you fed

  G                                   C

I see you as you see yourself through all the books you read

G                             C

Overwhelmed with guilt and realizing the disease

 

 

[Chorus]

G                        C

You give me chills, I've had it with the drills

     G                                C

I am nothing, you are nothing, we are nothing with the pills

     G                      C

I am empty 'til she fills, alive until she kills

       G                         C

In hеr a vampire empire, I'm thе fish and she's my gills

 

 

[Post-Chorus]

G         C

Falling, yeah

   G      C

Falling, yeah

 

 

[Verse 2]

  G                       C

I see you there rejecting all your earthly power

   G                                  C

Protecting and dissecting 'til you've emptied every hour

   G                              C

We jump into the pond and then we come under the shower

    G                          C

You lay upon my pillow and you open like a flower

  G                          C

I wanted to see you naked, I wanted to hear you scream

  G                            C

I wanted to kiss your skin and your everything

  G                             C

I wanted to be your woman and I wanted to be your man

  G                           C

I wanted to be the one that you could understand

 

 

[Chorus]

G                        C

You give me chills, I've had it with the drills

     G                                C

I am nothing, you are nothing, we are nothing with the pills

     G                      C

I am empty 'til she fills, alive until she kills

       G                         C

In hеr a vampire empire, I'm thе fish and she's my gills

 

 

[Post-Chorus]

G         C

Falling, yeah

   G      C

Falling, yeah

[Verse 3]

        G N.C.                  G       C

Well, I walked into your dagger for the last time in a row

          G                             C

It's like trying to start a fire with matches in the snow

        G                                 C

And you can't seem to hold me here, can't seem to let me go

   G                             C

So I can't find surrender, can't seem to keep control

    G                               C

You turn me inside out and then you want the outside in

    G                               C

You spin me all around and then you ask me not to spin

    G                          C

You say you wanna be alone and then you want children

    G                             C

You wanna be with me but then you wanna be with him

 

 

[Chorus]

G                        C

You give me chills, I've had it with the drills

     G                                C

I am nothing, you are nothing, we are nothing with the pills

     G                      C

I am empty 'til she fills, alive until she kills

       G                         C

In hеr a vampire empire, I'm thе fish and she's my gills

 

 

[Post-Chorus]

G         C

Falling, yeah

   G      C

Falling, yeah
