the way that it falls

[Intro]

|Gm / / / | Dm/F  / / / | Eb / / / | Dsus4 / / Gm |

[Verse 1]

F       Eb
Life is wonderful
F                                Eb
  You love the days 'til you're dead and cold
    D                      Gm
The pleasures lived in the light
               Eb         D         Cm
But I love the night, the shapes it solves
        Eb          Cm
And the way that it falls,
    D           Gm
The way that it falls

[Verse 2]

F                Eb
   And she loves everyone
F                  Eb
   So let her burn in the sun
     D                Gm
Then trick her into a fight
                Eb         D          Cm
'Cos I love the night, the spills and squalls
        Eb          Cm
And the way that it falls,
    D           Gm
The way that it falls


[Middle 8]

Cm7         F
    Falling   through the morning
Bb     F/A   Gm         Dm/F   Fm                Eb                C
    Falling     through all of space to wipe the sunlight from her face
         Bb                     Eb       | D / / / | Gm / / / | F / / / | F / / / | Eb / / / |
Like the shadows fallen in this place


[Verse 3]
F          Eb
   Life is wonderful
F                            Eb
   You hog the heat 'til the fire cools
        D                           Gm
And you hold on as though it's your right
             Eb       D       Cm
And drag the nights enclosing walls
        Eb          Cm
And the way that it falls.
    D           Gm
The way that it falls
