         A#m           F#
Whiskey tango from the top
                 G#                  A#m
I will blow your mind, I just can't stop
                     F#
Burn a candle, in my name
                      G#     A#m
You can bury me, with all my shame

C#             F
The poison of sadness
                    A#m
The breaking of the heart
    G#         F#
The echoes of madness
             F
Tearing us apart
Oh it's tearing us apart

Chorus:
A#m                        F#
I've been falling for the day
                          C#
Like I'm falling for the night
                  G#
Running from the darkness
                           A#m
Till I'm running from the light
                          F#
I've been falling for the day
                          C#
Like I'm falling for the night
                   G#
Trying to make it better
                         G#
But I just can't get it right
                        A#m
No, I just can't get it right

Do you remember
All of my words?
How I promised you
What you deserved?
I'm a liar
I'm a thief
But I need you more
Than you need me

The poison of sadness
The breaking of the heart
The echo of madness
Tearing us apart
Oh, it's tearing us apart

Chorus:
I've been falling for the day (falling for)
Like I'm falling for the night
(I've been running from)
Running from the darkness
Till I'm running from the light
(I've been falling for)
I've been falling for the day
Like I'm falling for the night
Trying to make it better,
but I just can't get it right
No, I just can't get it, oh, oh, oh

The poison of sadness
The breaking of the heart
The echo of madness
Tearing us apart
Hey, oh, I'm tearing us apart

Chorus:
I've been falling for the day (falling for)
Like I'm falling for the night
(I've been running from)
Running from the darkness
Till I'm running from the light
 (I've been falling for)
I've been falling for the day
Like I'm falling for the night
Trying to make it better, but
I just can't get it right (I've falling for)
I've been falling for the day
Like I'm falling for the night
(I've been running from)
Running from the darkness
Till I'm running from the light
(I've been falling for)
I've been falling for the day
Like I'm falling for the night
Trying to make it better, but
I just can't get it right
Oh, no, I just can't get it, oh, oh, oh
