[Verse]
   G5          G5/D           G5/E          G5/D
A little girl trapped in her knowledge and craft
      G5             G5/D      Csus2 G5
Came tripping to my room last night
   G5          G5/D         G5/E        G5/D
I cooked her a steak and I tried not to fake
      G5             G5/D  Csus2 G5
And still make everything alright
          G5          G5/D      G5/E         G5/D
She had dreads in her hair and problems and cares
      G5              G5/D    Csus2 G5
She tried hard not to let 'em show
         G5         G5/D           G5/E          G5/D
She was decent and sweet and I was sizin' up the meat
     G5               G5/D      Csus2 G5
But doubts fell in my mind like snow

[Chorus]
D5                       Dsus2/C#
And when the shove comes down to love
      Dsus2/C     G/B
The facade falls down
D5                       Dsus2/C#
And when the bricks fall from the tricks
      Dsus2/C     G/B
The facade falls down
G5 G5/D G5/E G5/D G5 G5/D Csus2
(Progression repeats)

[Verse]
        G5        G5/D          G5/E         G5/D
It's a sunny afternoon and I'm sitting in my robe
     G5           G5/D   Csus2 G5
I'm dirty and I'm here alone
            G5        G5/D        G5/E      G5/D
There's a story on my table that talks about me
       G5               G5/D              Csus2 G5
And I want to stuff it down the author's throat
          G5           G5/D   G5/E      G5/D
And I'm sleeping with someone new every night
            G5       G5/D          Csus2 G5
And in the morning politely saying "bye"
         G5            G5/D        G5/E      G5/D
And I'm nowhere and no one, and I only wanna run
       G5          G5/D    Csus2 G5
And I feel like a hamburger bun

[Chorus]
D5                   Dsus2/C#
And when you must believe or bust
      Dsus2/C     G/B
The facade falls down
D5                      Dsus2/C#
When you're scared of a brand new care
      Dsus2/C     G/B
The facade falls down
D5       Dsus2/C#
I got no reason
     Dsus2/C G/B
to believe
D5       Dsus2/C#
I got no reason
        C5   D5   C5 B5   Am
but I'm New York Scumbag Tough
                  G5
And I'll keep on truckin'
G5/D G5/E G5/D G5 G5/D Csus2
(Progression repeats from second chord)

[Verse]
    G5       G5/D       G5/E         G5/D
So night is falling and I'm getting' tired
          G5             G5/D          Csus2 G5
And it's time to get my slippers and books
        G5        G5/D         G5/E          G5/D
Got a sweater and glasses and something that passes
      G5         G5/D       Csus2 G5
For a way to get by in this world
G5            G5/D       G5/E           G5/D
I'm getting' tired of so many different things
   G5        G5/D      Csus2 G5
I guess I'm just plain tired
G5             G5/D      G5/E  G5/D
Or maybe too intelligent to believe
       G5       G5/D    Csus2 G5
In the obvious side of things

[Chorus]
D5                  Dsus2/C#
And when voice says make a choice
      Dsus2/C     G/B
The facade falls down
D5                    Dsus2/C#
When your knees start to concede
      Dsus2/C     G/B
The facade falls down
D5                    Dsus2/C#
When the shove comes down to love
      Dsus2/C     G/B
The facade falls down
D5                       Dsus2/C#
And when the bricks fall from the tricks
      Dsus2/C     G/B D5 Dsus2/C#
The facade falls down
      Dsus2/C     G/B D5 Dsus2/C#
The facade falls down [Repeat: x5]
