D Am
The freeway is jammed And it's backed up for miles
D Am
The car is an oven and baking is wild
D Am
Nothing is ever the way it should be
D Am
What we deserve we just don't get "TO" see
E D
A briefcase, a lunch and a man on the edge
E D
Each step "GETS" closer to losing his head
E D
Is someone in heaven are they looking down
E D E
Cause nothing is fair just you look around
Am F D E
Falling down Falling down Falling down
Am F D E
Falling down Falling down Falling down
D
He's sick of waiting of lying like this
Am
There's a hole in the sky for the angels to kiss
D
Branded a leper because you don't fit
Am
In the land of the free you "JUST" live by your wits
E F E
Once he built missiles a nation's defence
E D
Now he can't even give birthday presents
E D
Accross the city he leaves in his wake
E D E
A glimpse of the future a cannibal state
Am F D E
Falling down Falling down Falling down
Am F D E
Falling down Falling down Falling down
D Am
The freeway is jammed And it's backed up for miles
D Am
The car is an oven and baking is wild
D Am
Nothing is ever the way it should be
D Am
What we deserve we just don't get "TO" see
E D
A briefcase, a lunch and a man on the edge
E D
Each step "GETS" closer to losing his head
E D
Is someone in heaven are they looking down
E D E
Cause nothing is fair just you look around
Am F D E
Falling down Falling down Falling down
Am F D E
Falling down Falling down Falling down
Am F D E
Falling down Falling down Falling down
Am F D E
Falling down Falling down Falling down
