When I Fall Uke tab by Barenaked Ladies

INTRO:  E A B C#m E/F# A  (x2) 

                       E      A     B                C#m      E/F#   A 
I look straight in the window,       try not to look below 
                E       A    B                    F#    A 
Pretend I'm not up here,          I try counting sheep 

The sheep seem to shower, off this office tower 
It's 9.8 straight down, I can't stop my knees. 

CHORUS: 
                C#m            B                   F#       A 
I wish I could fly, from this building, from this wall. 
                C#m             B               F#       A 
And if I should try, would you catch me, if I fall.  


My hands clench the squeegee, a seclar rosary 
Hang onto your wallet, hand onto your rings. 
I can't look below me, something might throw me. 
I curse at the windstorms, that October brings. 

I look in the boardroom, a modern Pharaoh's tomb. 
I'd gladly swap places, if they care to dive 
They line up at the window, peer down into limbo 
Frightened of jumping, in case they survive. 

                    A              B        
And I wish I could step, from this scaffold, 
     C#m         E/F#      F#        A 
Onto soft green grass and shopping malls, 
    A           B              C#m            B      E   
And bed, and my family, and my pastor and my grandfather 
      F#   A 
Whose dead. 

Look straight in the mirror, watch it come clearer 
I look like a painter, behind all the grease. 
But painting's creating, and I'm just erasing 
B crystal clear canvas, is my masterpiece. 

CHORUS x2 

If I fall... (repeat)
