FALLING THROUGH THE BOTTOM LINE written by Ed Volker
[Intro]
F#m D B7 D F#m D B7 D
[Verse 1]
F#m D
In such a move through the shadows
B7 D
The price of patience keeps goin' up
F#m D
The dollar keeps slidin' downward
B7 D
And people runnin' out of luck
F#m D
Fire guts the refugee camp
B7 D
Children pissin' all over the throne
F#m D
The windows in this building don't open
B7 D
Judgement's waitin' on the telephone
[Chorus]
A D
It's 90 million miles to heaven
A D
87 stories to the street
A D
I'm fallin' through the bottom line
C#7 F#m D
I never knew the air was so sweet
B7 D F#m D B7 D
I pray God let me land on my feet
[Verse 2]
F#m D
Don't call this "Useless City"
B7 D
It uses everything in sight
F#m
Oh, there were animals all around us
B7 D
And diamond stars in the night
F#m D
I was the knight in shining armor
B7 D
But the armor it got too tight
F#m D
It's rusted just like the rest of me
B7 D
Now it's off into the refugee night
[Chorus]
A D
It's 90 million miles to heaven
A D
87 stories to the street
A D
I'm fallin' through the bottom line
C#7 F#m D
I never knew the air was so sweet
B7 D F#m D B7 D
I pray God let me land on my feet
[Verse 3]
F#m D
Death he knows no secrets
B7 D
So cold is his breath of old
F#m D
Oh I recall those wild strawberries
B7 D
And the beauty who held the bowl
F#m D
There's a man who's grown so skinny
B7 D
And who's got time for friends
F#m D
Somethin' sctratchin' at the window
B7 D
And the TV keeps saying "The End"
[Chorus]
A D
It's 90 million miles to heaven
A D
87 stories to the street
A D
I'm fallin' through the bottom line
C#7 F#m D
I never knew the air was so sweet
B7 D F#m D B7 D
I pray God let me land on my feet
[Verse 4]
F#m D
Maybe I'll just keep fallin'
B7 D
Until this life is gone
F#m D
I've just been fallin' and fallin'
B7 D
Ever since I was born
F#m D
In this world we're all gypsies
B7 D
Livin' on borrowed time
F#m D
Steppin' over glass and barbed wire
B7 D
They call this the bottom line
[Chorus]
A D
It's 90 million miles to heaven
A D
87 stories to the street
A D
I'm fallin' through the bottom line
C#7 F#m D
I never knew the air was so sweet
B7 D F#m D B7 D
I pray God let me land on my feet
[Outro]
