Standard (EADGBE)

Oh, I think I got you figured out

Boy, I think I know what you are all about

Finally, I can finally see you pull the darkness right down over me

 But now I see

Everybody knows that I'm a mess

Everybody knows you stole the heart from out my chest

Every thing you ever said was a lie

 You're hiding behind your sweet, your sweet goodbyes

 I'm black and blue 'cause I fell for you

 You said you never would let me go

 Ooh, how could I ever know?

 I'm black and blue and in love with you

 You said you never would let me fall

 You never would let me fall, but I'm falling

 You never would let me fall

 You never would let me fall, but I'm falling

Oh, I know I'm never gonna stop

I keep burning time away until I hit the top

One day, I'll wake up and take up to the open skies

 And I'll be the one with all the sweet goodbyes

Chorus

Falling, falling, over and over again

I'm always falling, over and over

But I'll get up, I'll make it

I need some time to un-break it

I feel like I'm falling, I'm falling far away from you

 It's what I need to do

Black and blue and in love with you

Black and blue and in love with you

 You said you never would let me fall

 You never would let me fall, but I'm falling

 You never would let me fall

 You never would let me fall, but I'm falling

 You never would let me fall

 You never would let me fall, but I'm falling

And I'm falling, black and blue

 It's what I need to do
