Falling Short

[Intro ]
D 

 
D                           Bm 
Lonely is a habit I've been tryin' like hell to break 
    G                               A 
And honestly, I don't know how much more I can take 
       D                          Bm 
Been a boxcar on the rails, followin' what others do 
       G                                      A 
Buying drinks for all the blue eyes that meet mine across the room 
       Bm                         A 
But as soon as they see the kinda mess that I can be 
     G                              A 
They up and disappear and I stop to think 
 

 
         G                    Bm 
Will you wait for me when I'm in too deep 
             D                           A 
And tell yourself that I'm the one to keep? 
             G                           Bm 
And when I'm late-night traveling or too drunk to see what's happening 
  D                          A 
I hope you'll take it easy on...me 
              G       A          Bm 
If you're the one I'm waiting up for 
                G       A           D 
I won't have to hide my fallin' short 
 

 
          D                            Bm 
Seems the measure of a man is just how much he measures up 
    G                            A 
But I ain't got no tricks, not a nickel in my cup 
    D                          Bm 
But maybe all your broken's as broken as mine 
  G                                        A 
Together we'll tell ourselves we're doin' fine 
 

 
         G                    Bm 
Will you wait for me when I'm in too deep 
             D                           A 
And tell yourself that I'm the one to keep? 
             G                         Bm 
And when I'm late-night traveling, too drunk to see what's happening 
  D                          A 
I hope you'll take it easy on...me 
              G       A          Bm 
If you're the one I'm waiting up for 
                G       A           D 
I won't have to hide my fallin' short 
 

 
          Bm                    A 
'Cause if true exists like they say it does 
     G                     A 
Then I don't care what the journey was 
 

 
         G                    Bm 
Will you wait for me when I'm in too deep 
             D                           A 
And tell yourself that I'm the one to keep? 
             G                         Bm                       Am 
And when I'm late-night traveling, too drunk to see what's happening 
  D                          A 
I hope you'll take it easy on...me 
              G       A          Bm 
If you're the one I'm waiting up for 
                G       A           D 
I won't have to hide my fallin' short 
                    G       A          Bm 
Yeah, if you're the one I'm waiting up for 
                G       A           D 
I won't have to hide my fallin' short
