CAPO II
INTRO: D A7 G D A7 G
I [D]just dropped in 'cause [A7]I could use a friend and a [G]little bit of consolation
I'm [D]hangin' by a thread from the [A7]southern end of my [G]rope
If you [D]really wanna know I'll [A7]do my best to [Bm]explain my sit[G]uation
[Em]Maybe I can find the words if the [A7]tears don't get me first
CHORUS:
It's kinda like [D]fallin' from the sky when you're [A]up a mile high
And your [G]para[G/F#]chute won't [G]open
It's kinda like c[D]lingin' to the bottom of the b[A]ottom When the bottom drops [G]out
The [D]only way I [A]know to say how [Bm]bad her leavin' h[G]urts
It's kinda like a h[D]eartache,[A7] only w[G]orse, only w[D]orse
INTRO
It wasn't my first brush with love but this one was the deepest
Yeah I've been blue but this time it's closer to black
I swore I'd never get hurt again but here I am in pieces
When this one broke my heart, that was just the start
CHORUS
BRIDGE:
It's kinda like [Bm-Bm/A]bein' cut [Em]open[A]
Kinda like [G]bein' burned at the [D]stake
Kinda like d[Bm]rownin' [Bm/A]in the [Em]ocean[G]
A7 N/C
Knowin' there's no help on the way
(KEY CHANGE)
CHORUS:
It's kinda like [E]fallin' from the sky when you're [B]up a mile high
And your [A]para[A/G#]chute won't [A]open
Kinda like [E]clingin' to the bottom of the [B]bottom when the bottom drops [A]out
The [E]only way I [B]know to say how [C#m]bad her leavin' [A]hurts
It's kinda like a h[E]eartache,[B7] only w[A]orse, only w[E]orse
