[A]I felt the flames on my face
When I [A]found the nerve to meet your eyes, [D]so green
[E]I stumbled towards your elegance
I [E]tumbled, wide awake into a [A]dream
[A]And there you stood, so beautiful
[A]Destiny seduces, after [D]all
[E]I fell into the fire
[E]That's a long way to [A]fall

You gave me strength to speak
When my voice was weak and words were hard to find
Your faith in me was solid and
it stood me up when I couldn't steady mine
All those times I cried at night
You promised me it'd be all right
You held me while my demons danced and crawled
I fell into your open arms
That's a long way to fall

Bridge:
A [G]lon[D]g way to [A]fall
A [G]lon[D]g way to [A]fall

I never should have drifted
I never should have left you all alone
I don't know what comes over me
Looks like I'll always be
the troubled kid that runs away from home
I reached for you the other night
You rolled away and moved against the wall
I fell into the space between us
That's a long way to fall

Bridge

I got no one to hold on to and
I'm sinking slowly to my knees
I might learn to pray down here
or maybe I'll beg you baby, please
But you stare at me with marble eyes
And I don't think I've ever felt this small
I've fallen out of your good graces
That's a long way to fall
