[Intro]
G Bm G A Bm A G
[Verse 1]
Bm
The stillness here
G A
Like what he sometimes finds inside her
Bm A G
Hits so hard it can steal your breath forever
Bm
He sometimes wonders
G A
Is the sum of their lives together
Bm A G
Him on the floor and her lost to a mind in tatters
[Chorus]
E G
These days he's drinking for the pleasure of falling
E G
And he's falling for the pleasure of pretending
E G
That she's sitting by the window waiting
Bm G A Bm A G
For him to come calling
[Verse 2]
Bm G A
If I could fix me up a week of twilight hours
Bm
We'd sit on the point
A G
And watch the sun continually flounder
Bm G A
Bathed in gold we'd plug into some kind of power
Bm
And connect with those days
A G
Back before all of this went sour
[Chorus]
E G
'Cause I'm drinking for the pleasure of falling
E G
And I'm falling for the pleasure of pretending
E G
That you're sitting by the window waiting
Bm G A Bm A G
For me to come calling
[Verse 3]
Bm G A
Odd how the darkness always makes us whisper
Bm
And with the last of the sun
A G
You can feel the approach of the winter
Bm G
Now is the time of each day
A
That I desperately miss her
Bm A G
I suppose I will learn how to live my life without her
[Chorus]
E G
So you're drinking for the pleasure of falling
E G
And you're falling for the pleasure of pretending
E G
That I'm sitting by the window waiting
Bm G Bm
For you to come calling
[Outro]
C Bm G Bm
For you to come calling
C Bm G Bm
For you to come calling
C Bm G Bm C Bm G
For you to come calling
