          D
What goes on in your mind
             C     G       D
I think that I am falling down
          D
What goes on in your mind
             C    G       D
I think that I am upside down

Chorus:
         A                  G
Lady be good, do what you should
                D
You know it'll work all right
         A                  G
Lady be good, do what you should
                D
You know it'll be all right

I'm going up, and I'm going down
I'm going to fly from side to side
See the bells up in the sky
Somebody's cut the string in two

Chorus

One minute born, one minute doomed
One minute up and one minute down
What goes on in your mind?
I think that I am falling down
