 G                         C/G 
Watching TV tired, bleeding on the bed 
     G                             C/G 
The milk has just expired, all the leaves are dead 
         G                                C/G 
I'm not quiet, you've been quiet — just receiving what you said 
 G                                 C/G 
Reeling, feeding, feeling filled by everything you fed 
   G                                 C/G 
I see you as you see yourself through all the books you read 
G                             C/G 
Overwhelmed with guilt and realizing the disease 


G                        C/G 
You give me chills, I've had it with the drills 
     G                               C/G 
I'm nothing, you are nothing, we are nothing with the pills 
    G                      C/G 
I'm empty till she fills, alive until she kills 
        G               C/G 
In her vampire empire, I am 
    G     C/G 
Falling, yeah 
    G     C/G 
Falling, yeah 


   G                     C/G 
I see you there rejecting all your earthly power 
    G                                C/G 
Protecting and dissecting till you've emptied every hour 
    G                          C/G 
We jump into the pond, then we come under the shower 
     G                        C/G 
You lay upon my pillow and you open like a flower 
   G                         C/G 
I wanted to see you naked, I wanted to hear you scream 
 G                         C/G 
Wanted to kiss your skin and your everything 
   G                         C/G 
I wanted to be your woman, I wanted to be your man 
   G                          C/G 
I wanted to be the one that you could understand 


G                        C/G 
You give me chills, I've had it with the drills 
     G                               C/G 
I'm nothing, you are nothing, we are nothing with the pills 
    G                      C/G 
I'm empty till she fills, alive until she kills 
        G               C/G 
In her vampire empire, I am 
    G     C/G 
Falling, yeah 
    G     C/G 
Falling, yeah 


G  C/G 
Oh, oh 
G  C/G 
Oh, oh 
G  C/G 
Oh, oh 
G  C/G 
Oh, ah 


           N.c.                            N.C 
Well, I've walked into your dagger for the last time 
           N.c.                       N.C 
It's like trying to start a fire with matches in the snow 
      N.c.                             N.C 
Where you can't seem to hold me, can't seem to let me go 
     N.c.                       N.C 
So I can't find surrender and I can't keep control 
     G                              C/G 
You turn me inside out and then you want the outside in 
      G                         C/G 
You spin me all around, then you ask me not to spin 
     G                      C/G 
You say you want to be alone and you want children 
     G                    C/G 
You wanna be with me, you wanna be with him 


G                        C/G 
You give me chills, I've had it with the drills 
     G                               C/G 
I'm nothing, you are nothing, we are nothing with the pills 
    G                      C/G 
I'm empty till she fills, alive until she kills 
        G               C/G 
In her vampire empire, I am 
    G     C/G 
Falling, yeah 
    G     C/G 
Falling, yeah 
    G     C/G 
Falling, yeah 
    G     C/G 
Falling, yeah 
    G     C/G 
Falling, yeah 
    G     C/G 
Falling, yeah
