 ----------------------------------------------------------
    Has      the      ship    run      a  -  ground
 
 
 What's that shape, what's that sound?
 That's just me falling down
 
 Some of us are free, some are bound
 Some will swim, some will drown
 Some of us are saints, some are clowns
 Just like me, they're falling down
 
 Chorus:
 -----------
          C
 Well I lied to the nation 
                                       Em
 While my reputation ran dry
                C
 >From my lungs to my liver
                                         Em
 Clung to the river bank's side
                       C
 Yeah well I'm back in the water
                    
 Doing what I oughtta
                                          Em
 Trying to lead an ordinary life
 
 
 Verse two (as verse one):
 ---------------------------------
 Is this world spinning round
 Has the ship run aground
 What's that shape, what's that sound
 That's just me falling down
 
 Some of us are green, some are brown
 Some are lost, some are found
 Sight unseen, baby, sound on sound
 Pray for me, I'm falling down
 
 
 Chorus Two (as chorus one):
 -------------------------------------
 I was lost in the jungle
 Crossed over enemy lines
 Well I got me a red nose
 By sleeping under hedgerows at night
 Yeah well I tried levitation
 Flying in formation
 Heaven knows the weight of this crime
 
 
 (Repeat verse one omitting second stanza)
 
 
 Ending:
 -----------
 C         Em
 Falling down
 C         Em
 Falling down
 C         Em
 Falling down
 C         Em
 Falling down
 
 (Play verse "riff" twice ending with slight crescendo on second time)
