My Own Fall

Am you were born D toes over the edge G E sixteen miles high Am when you were born D they failed to inform G E yeah that boys aren't built for flying Am you inched closer to the ledge D G E arms out wide as if to receive the sky Am D and in a thousand frozen faces yours was G E the only one there to crack a smile E and i heard you E and i heard you whisper Am C "i can break my own fall, E break my own fall, F E i can break Am C i can break my own fall E break my own fall F E Am and if i break it's my own fault" Am well i was born D holding my breath G E i was born on the edge of my seat Am i was born D loving you G E while you dance through your days on a balance beam Am D i saw you take that faithfull step G E like something from a dream Am and in a thousand empty eyes D G E mine were the only ones there to watch you leave E and i heard you E and i heard you whisper Am C "i can break my own fall, E break my own fall, F E i can break Am C i can break my own fall E break my own fall F E Am and if i break it's my own fault" Am well maybe you're the one C that ended up on the news G but i, i got broken E i got broken too Am yeah maybe you're the one C that ended up on the news G but i, i got broken E i got broken too Am and i need you to know C to know i don't need you G yeah you heard me this time E but darling here's the truth Am C i, i can break my own heart, E i can break my own heart, F E i can break Am C i can break my own heart E i can break my own heart F E Am and if i break it's my own fault Am C and i can break my own fall, E break my own fall, F E and if i break it's my own E Am well it's my own fault
