Falling is Like This - Ani Difranco
C G
You give me that look that`s like laughing
C G
with liquid in your mouth
C G
like you`re choosing between choking
C G
and spitting it all out
F G
like you`re trying to fight gravity
Am C
on a planet that insists
F
that love is like falling
G C G C G
and falling is like this
C G
feels like reckless driving when we`re talking
C G
it`s fun while it lasts and it`s faster than walking
C G
but no one is going to sympathize when we crash
C
they`ll say you hit what you head for
G
you get what you ask
F G
and we`ll say we didn`t know
Am C
we didn`t even try
F G
one minute there was road beneath us
C G C
and the next just sky
I`m sorry I can`t help you
i cannot keep you safe
sorry I can`t help myself
so don`t look at me that way
we can`t fight gravity on a planet that insists
that love is like falling
and fallling is like this
