[Verse 1]
 
Cmaj7            G/D             Em7        G/B
  I won't try to bring you down about my suicide
Cmaj7            G/D         Em7            G/B
  Got no need to understand about my big surprise
Cmaj7            G/D          Em7          G/B
  I won't beg to hang you up about my love of life

[Pre-Chorus]
 
Cmaj7                G/D             Em7                  G/B
  I am writing you a letter. Getting better. Can I see you when
Cmaj7                   G/D                 Em7                      G/B
  All the lights go out together? Blame the weather, yeah, the cold again
Cmaj7                   G/D         Em7                     G/B
  In the darkness for a second I am sure I see them smiling then
Cmaj7            G/D      Em7                    G/B
  I feel them calling me. Yeah, they are calling me
 
[Chorus]
 
Am                           Bm     C            C/D
 And I'm falling through the stars (you remember now?)
Am                          Bm    C            C/D
 Yeah, I'm falling in their arms (you remember how?)
Am                           Bm   C            C/D
 Oh, I'm falling through the sky (you remember this?)
Am                     Bm    C                C/D  C
 I am falling in their eyes (you remember the kiss?)

[Verse 2]
 
Cmaj7            G/D          Em7          G/B
  I won't try to pull you in about my sacrifice
Cmaj7               G/D       Em7             G/B
  Makes no sense to get upset about the other side
Cmaj7            G/D          Em7              G/B
  I won't beg to put you out about my right to die
Cmaj7            G/D          Em7              G/B
  If you promise not to sing about the reasons why
 
[Pre-Chorus]
 
Cmaj7                 G/D               Em7                       G/B
  I am calling you at midnight. Feeling all right. Can I tell you when?
Cmaj7                       G/D              Em7                      G/B
  On the line, no sound but my words must be night birds on the wire again
Cmaj7                  G/D                Em7                G/B
  In the silence for a second I am sure I hear them laughing then
Cmaj7            G/D      Em7                    G/B
  I feel them calling me. Yeah, they are calling me
 
[Chorus]
 
Am                           Bm     C            C/D
 And I'm falling through the stars (you remember now?)
Am                          Bm    C            C/D
 Yeah, I'm falling in their arms (you remember how?)
Am                            Bm   C           C/D
 Oh, I'm falling through the sky (you remember this?)
Am                     Bm    C                C/D
 I am falling in their eyes (you remember the kiss?)
 
[Bridge]
 
    Fmaj7/C          G        Em
"We know, they said, - You're holding on
     Fmaj7/C    G    Em
To nothing left - of something gone"
    Fmaj7/C          G    Em
"We know, they said, - in letting go
   Fmaj7/C         G     Em
Of fear and dread  - and all you know
       Am             Bm    C         C/D
You'll lose the nee-e-ed of certainty
    Am           Bm   C       C/D
And make-beli-i-ieve eternity
   Am       Bm          C     C/D
To find the true, oh, reality
   Am    Bm         C        C/D   C                              C5    G5    E5    G5
In beautiful, oh, infinity", yeah! -eah! -eah! -eah! (yeah! yeah! yeah!)
 
[Outro]
