When I Fall Tabulatur von Barenaked Ladies

E B C#m A

A                        E     B                 C#m    A
  I look straight in the window, try not to look below
                   E   B                F#     A
Pretend I'm not up here, I try counting sheep
                      E     B                C#m    A
But the sheep seem to shower off this office tower
                          E  B                 F#      A            
Nine-point-eight straight down I can't stop my knees

[Chorus]
               C#m
I wish I could fly
          B
From this building
          F#    A
From this wall
                C#m
And if I should try
          B             F#      A
Would you catch me if I fall?

                    E       B            C#m      A
My hands clench the squeegee, my secular rosary
                E     B                 F#      A
Hang on to your wallet, hang on to your rings
             E      B                C#m       A
Can't look below me; something might throw me
                 E  B                F#       A           
Curse at the windstorms that October brings
              E         B             C#m         A
I look in the boardroom; a modern pharaoh's tomb
                E      B                F#     A
I'd gladly swap places, if they care to dive
                        E     B                C#m    A
They're lined up at the window, peer down into limbo
                      E      B                 F#      A
They're frightened of jumping, in case they survive

               C#m             B
I wish I could step from this scaffold 
     G#m                   A                  C#m
Onto soft green pastures, shopping malls, or bed
        B             G#m            C#m                F#    A
With my family and my pastor and my grandfather who's Dead

                     E     B               C#m      A
Look straight in the mirror, watch it come clearer
              E       B               F#       A
I look like a painter, behind all the grease
                 E     B              C#m     A
But paintings creating, and I'm just erasing
                E     B            F#     A
A crystal-clear canvas is my masterpiece

[Chorus 2x]

E B        C#m   A
    When I fall
E B        C#m   A
    When I fall
E B        C#m   A   E
    When I...     ooommm
