F       Dm         A#
In the time of my ruin
F       Dm              A#
At the museum I met a curator
F           Dm                      A#
She was so nice, I thought I would date her
F        Dm              A#
I was a hawk and I just flew in

In the time of my ruin
I did not know you would be created
Now every day I am elated
'Cause you never know what is brewing

Chorus:
F     C       Gm
Some pain is good
A#                         F  C
Sometimes its good to be blind
F     C          Gm
Some pain feels good
G#                                       G
That’s the pain that’s just the right kind

You didn't know I was a shoo-in
And you didn't know it was my hour
You didn't know that I had the power
In the time of my ruin

F       Dm         A#
In the time of my ruin - x3

Chorus

C#       G#            A#  A#m
They’re caving in the roof
      Fm           A#   F
It is falling all around
C#   G#              A#  A#m
The floor is going, too
                Fm           A#  F
Soon I will be falling on down

They're caving in the roof
It is falling all around
The floor is going, too
Soon I will be falling on down, falling on down

They're caving in the roof
Yeah, it is falling all around me now,
all around me now
The floor is going, too
Soon I will be falling on down

They're caving in the roof
It is falling all around me now
