[Em] [F#m] [G]
[Am] [G] [D]
[Em] [F#m] [G]
[Am] [G] [D]
[Em] When [D] the [G] time comes [Am] that you're no [G] longer [D] there
[Em] Fall down [D] to [G] my knees, [Am] begin [G] my [D] nightmare
[Em] Words spill from [F#m] my drunken [G] mouth
[A] I just [G] can't keep [D] them all in
I [Em] keep up with the [D] [G] racing rats
[A] And do my [G] best [D] to win
[Em] [G]
[Am] [G] [F#]
[Em] [G]
[Am] [G]
[Em] Slow down [F#m] [G] little one, [Am] you can't keep [G] running [D] away
[Em] You mustn't go [D] [G] outside yet, [Am] it's not your [G] time [D] to play
[Em] Standing at [D] the edge [G] of your town
[A] With the [G] skyline [D] in your eyes
[Em] Reaching [D] out [G] to God
[Am] The sun [G] says its [D]
[Em] [Bm] goodbyes
If [C] a pain were [G] to fall [Em] from the sky
How big [C] a hole would [G] you leave
[D] In the sands of the earth?
[Em] [G]
[Am] [G] [F#m]
[Em] [G]
[Am] [G]
[Em] Let's pretend we [G] never met
[Am] Let's pretend [G] we're on [D] our own
[Em] We'll live [F#m] [G] different lives
[Am] Till [G] our [D] covers blow
[B]
[Em] I'll push my hand up [D] to [G] the sky
[Am] Shade my eyes [G] from the sun
[Em] As the dust settles [D] [G] around me
[Am] Suddenly night [G] time has begun
[Em] If [C] a pain were [G] to fall [Em] from the sky
How big [C] a hole would [G] it leave
In the [D] sands of the earth?
The sands of the earth
[Em] Come [C] on now
[G] You knew you [D] were lost
But [Em] you carried [C] on [G] anyway
[D]
[Em] Oh come [G] on [C] now
[G] You knew you had [D] no time
[Em] But you let the day [C] slip [G] away
[Em]
[Am] [G] [F#]
[Em] [G]

[Em] [G]
[Am] [Em] [F#m] [Em]
If [C] a pain were [G] to fall [Em] from the sky
How big [C] a hole would [G] it [Em] leave
If [C] a pain were [G] to fall from [Em] the sky
How big [C] a hole would [G] it leave
In the [D] sands of the earth?
The sands of the earth
The sands of the [Em] earth
