F                     Gm                      A# C
Am I a faulty kind of man, so tender in the heart?
F                        Gm                      A# C
Are clues embedded in my hands, or horoscope or cards?
F                            Gm                   A# C
No, I'm no special grain of sand or undiscovered star
F                            Gm                     A#
If there's a great and holy plan I'd rather have no part

 F 
Ain't that the way, ain't that the way
           A#
You always unwind my head, unmake the bed like Sunday
 F 
Ain't that the way, ain't that the way
            A#
You get me talking to the dead and questioning if
      C
I'm alive at all

Chorus:
F                A#
Why every morning waking up
      F                      C
Must I try not to fall, must I try not to fall apart?
F                     Dm
You take me in your grateful arms
    F                     C
And I try not to fall, oh I try not to fall apart
F                  A#
It's not the way a man like me behaves
 F                    C
It's not the way the world would have me play my part
F                    Dm
Then why does every fibre shake
   F                     C                   F
As I try not to fall, as I try not to fall apart?

Am I a low and lacking man, no shimmer to my soul?
Am I a spindle wound too tight, a fraction of a whole?
No, I've no party tricks, my hand is empty as a vault
If there's a charge, oh then I'll stand and do the time for every fault

Ain't that the way, ain't that the way
You always unwind my head, unmake the bed like Sunday
Ain't that the way, ain't that the way
You get me talking to the dead and questioning if I'm alive at all

Chorus:
Why every morning waking up
Must I try not to fall, must I try not to fall apart?
You take me in your grateful arms
And I try not to fall, oh I try not to fall apart
It's not the way a man like me behaves
It's not the way the world would have me play my part
Then why does every fibre shake
As I try not to fall, as I try not to fall apart?

 F 
Ain't that the way, ain't that the way
           A#
You always unwind my head, unmake the bed like Sunday
 F 
Ain't that the way, ain't that the way
            A#
You get me talking to the dead and questioning if
      C
I'm alive at all

Why every morning waking up
Must I try not to fall, must I try not to fall apart?
You take me in your grateful arms
And I try not to fall, oh I try not to fall apart
It's not the way a man like me behaves
It's not the way the world would have me play my part
Then why does every fibre shake
As I try not to fall, as I try not to fall apart?

   C                   F  Dm  F 
As I try not to fall apart
   C                   F  A# F
As I try not to fall apart
   C                   F  Dm  F 
As I try not to fall apart
   C                   F
As I try not to fall apart
