"Fall Down Gently" by Men Without Hats

(intro: (=verse))

[A] [D] [G] [D]  [A] [D] [A] [E] 

(verse:)

she was [A] only a [D] girl, it was [G] nobody's [D] world
and she [A] told me she'd [D] lived [A] for a [E] while
i was [A] only six- [D] -teen but i [G] knew how to dream
i still [A] dream though it's [D] way [A] out of [E] style

(chorus:)

i'd rather fall down [F] gently  than never [G] fall down at [A] all
i'd rather fall down [F] gently  than never [G] fall down at [A] all
down at [E] all

we were took by surprise  as we looked at the size
of the man that we all called the lord
just between you and me  well there weren't much to see
what with helmet and blood-stained sword

i'd rather fall down gently  than never fall down at all
i'd rather fall down gently than never fall down at all, down at all

[guitar solo (=verse)]

i'd rather fall down gently  than never fall down at all
i'd rather fall down gently  than never fall down at all, down at all

so it was somebody's world  and i was only the girl
and i told you i'd be here for a while
'cause when you're only 16  and you know how to dream
you keep dreaming 'til the dreaming gets wild

i'd rather fall down gently  than never fall down at all (x8)

i'd rather fall down [Fmaj7] gently
