G C
G C [Verse]
G Watching TV tired,
C/G
bleeding on the bed G The milk has just expired,
C/G
all the leaves are dead G I'm not quiet, you've been quiet,
C/G
just receiving what you said G Reeling feeding feeling filled by
C/G
everything you fed G I see you as you see yourself through
C/G
all the books you read G Overwhelmed with guilt and
C/G
realising the disease [Chorus]
G You give me chills,
C/G
I've had it with the drills G I am nothing, you are nothing,
C/G
we are nothing with the pills G I am empty 'til she fills C/G Alive until she kills G In her vampire empire, I'm the
C/G
fish and she's my gills G C/G Falling, yeah G C/G Falling, yeah [Verse]
G I see you there rejecting
C/G
all your earthly power G Protecting and dissecting
C/G
'til you empty every hour G We jump into the pond and then
C/G
we come under the shower G You lay upon my pillow and
C/G
you open like a flower G I wanted to see you naked C/G I wanted to hear you scream G I wanted to kiss your skin
C/G
and your everything G I wanted to be your woman C/G I wanted to be your man G I wanted to be the one that
C/G
you could understand [Chorus]
G You give me chills,
C/G
I've had it with the drills G I am nothing, you are nothing,
C/G
we are nothing with the pills G I am empty 'til she fills C/G Alive until she kills G In her vampire empire,
C/G
I'm the fish and she's my gills G C/G Falling, yeah G C/G Falling, yeah [Break]
G C/G

G C/G
G C/G [Verse]
G I walked into your dagger for
C/G
the last time in a row G It's like trying to start
C/G
a fire with matches in the snow G You can't seem to hold me here,
C/G
you can't seem to let me go G So I can't find surrender,
C/G
can't keep control G You turn me inside out and
C/G
then you want me outside in G You spin me all around and
C/G
then you ask me not to spin G You say you want to be alone and
C/G
then you want children G You wanna be with me baby,
C/G
you wanna be with him [Chorus]
G You give me chills,
C/G
I've had it with the drills G I am nothing, you are nothing,
C/G
we are nothing with the pills G I am empty 'til she fills C/G Alive until she kills G In her vampire empire,
C/G
I'm the fish and she's my gills G C/G Falling, yeah G C/G Falling, yeah G C/G Falling, yeah G C/G Falling, yeah [Outro]
