Can't Break Her Fall Mat Kearney
------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tuning: Standard
[B]She says today is gonna be the [E]last one
[B]I know there's never gonna be an [E]easy way out
[B]She's rolling round the town with a [E]fast gun
[B]And I know I can't be there to [E]catch her when she falls
Well [F#]half way down is half way out of [E]here
We're either [F#]halfway drowned or half way 'round the [E]pier
When you're that far go[B]ne
Whoooo[E]o, [B]Whooooooo[E]o
Verse 1:
I walked the [B]steps to her apartment with the window by the shore
And saw her [E]curled on the tile through a crack in the door
I've been [B]searching for the words I don't know how to say
I've been [E]searching for the words to make it go away
I spent [B]all of last night and the night before that
With my [E]feet in the sand and the wind on my back
Watching a [B]ship sail out to a blue wide sea
There [E]must be more than this with a kiss we can't see
Chorus:
Well [F#]half way down is half way out of [E]here
We're [F#]eihter half-way drowned or half way round the [E]pier
[B]I can't break her, I can't break her fall
[E]She's lying in the back room, crying on the bathroom floor
Singing [Abm]I can't take it, I can't take any more
[E]Just one reason, one to believe in
That's not that far [B]gone, whooo[E]oo
Not that far [B]gone, whooo[E]oo
verse2: (repeat B, E progression)
I held the back of her head and laid her in the bed
And watched the sheets raise and fall to the rhythm of her breath
Turn the lock on the handle and slipped down the stairs
To the cover of the night with diamonds in the air
I'll say a prayer in my breath and take a left at the water
To the rhythm of my feet a sister and a daughter
To the rhythm of the sea with the breeze in the autumn
As it blows through the trees my hands into the water
Repeat Chorus
[Abm]I can't break her, I can't break her fall
[E]She's lying in the back room, crying on the bathroom floor
[Abm]And I can't take it, I can't take any[E]more
[B]She says today is gonna be the [E]last time
[B]And I know there's never gonna be an [E]easy way out
