Standard (EADGBE)

 He smiled to the world

 But his heart fell below his pain

 He wanted only arms

 But he lied to himself again

 Closing doors and locking locks

 He looked inside himself

 Only to find

 Deep down fear

 Let me fall in two

 Let me fall in two

 Let me fall in two

 Wide as a river and spread as thin

 What he could start, no one would finish

 Bottled up frowning treaties, saw what they would

 Knowing not nothing, he was the only son

 Closing doors and locking locks

 He looked inside himself

 Only to find

 Seeping from his soul

 Let me fall in two

 Let me fall in two

 Let me fall in two

 Let me fall in two

(What are you running from?)

 Let me fall in two

(What are you running from?)

 Let me fall in two

(What are you running from?)

 Let me fall in two

(What are you running from?)

 He finds himself away

 He finds himself away

(Only have to make the world come find you)

 Try to leave but there is nothing he can do

 Downcast eyes scrutinize

 As to what the lead ball hummingbird would not succumb

 To find what is gone you must burn what is dried

 And smell the essence of what remains inside

 But blackened thoughts erase all that is past before him

 Not knowing where he’s coming

 So you shake him around and scream into his eyes

 That to drown in the water is to lie by his side

 Closing doors and locking locks

 He looked inside himself

 Only to find

 Seeping from his soul

 Let me fall in two

 Let me fall in two

 Let me fall in two

 Let me fall in two

(What are you running from?)

 Let me fall in two

(What are you running from?)

 Let me fall in two

(What are you running from?)

 Let me fall in two

(What are you running from?)

 Ohhhh Ohhhh

 Ohhhh Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
