To Fall Is Not To Fail

Dear Nora

tom:

C5
If you have to say goodbye
E5
Be careful not to lose control

     F5             A5
It's better not to cry
      G5             C5
Or to look me in the eye
         F5             G5     C5  
When you leave and you let it go

C5
And if you need to know the way
E5
Be careful not to play around
      F5              A5
Don't ask me or I'll say
         G5           C5
That I'm going my own way
           F5            G5   C5         G5 
I'm going up instead of underground

[Verse 1]
  C5      E5    A5 G5
I looked around
   C5      E5   A5 G5
To find a key
         C5            E5          A5 
I said I knew that it wouldn't be easy
   D5       G5
To make you see

  C5    E5      A5 G5
I fell asleep
  C5    E5      A5 G5
And I awoke
           C5 
And like a joke
         E5         A5          
You were next to me sleeping
    D5      G5     F5
But then it broke

[Pre Chorus]
F5
Words aren't easy
A5
But neither am I
G5
I don't want to be the one that learns to fly

[Chorus]
C5
If you have to say goodbye
E5
Be careful not to lose control

     F5             A5
It's better not to cry
      G5             C5
Or to look me in the eye
         F5             G5     C5  
When you leave and you let it go

C5
And if you need to know the way
E5
Be careful not to play around
      F5              A5
Don't ask me or I'll say
         G5           C5
That I'm going my own way
           F5            G5   C5         G5 
I'm going up instead of underground

[Verse 2]
  C5        E5     A5 G5
I hit the ground
       C5         E5    A5 G5   
And it shook the sky
      C5            E5            A5 
All I knew is that I didn't know why
  D5      G5
I even tried

  C5           E5     A5 G5
I should have died
        C5        E5     A5 G5
Then I heard the news
          C5         E5             A5 
I thought I was the one that would lose
                 D5    G5          F5
But here's where I begin

[Pre Chorus]
F5
Words aren't easy
A5
But neither am I
G5
I don't want to be the one that's left to die

[Chorus]
C5
If you have to say goodbye
E5
Be careful not to lose control

     F5             A5
It's better not to cry
      G5             C5
Or to look me in the eye
         F5             G5     C5  
When you leave and you let it go

C5
And if you need to know the way
E5
Be careful not to play around
      F5              A5
Don't ask me or I'll say
         G5           C5
That I'm going my own way
           F5            G5   C5     
I'm going up instead of underground
