[Verse 1]
Dsus2 A
You fell out of the sky when you were twenty one,
F#m
Your bomber took a bullet from a German gun,
Bm G
Did you think about your wife, your brief and tender life?
E4 E
Did you pray to anyone?
[Chorus]
A
How does it feel when you're falling?
F#m
Can you hear sweet angels... calling?
Bm G
Is it empty up in space? Did you touch God's holy face?
E4 E
Did you tremble? Did you cry?
Dsus2
Did you fall, or... did you fly?

[Verse 2]
Dsus2 A
You fell out of your life when you were forty three,
F#m
You saw her, and thought she was your destiny,
Bm G
You've wandered from the path, and we cursed your aftermath,
E4 E
But that's ancient history!
[Chorus]
A
How does it feel when you're falling?
F#m
Can you hear sweet angels... calling?
Bm G
Is it empty up in space? Did you touch God's holy face?
E4 E
Did you tremble? Did you cry?
Dsus2
Did you fall, or... did you fly?

[Bridge]
Bm A Dmaj7
You make it so damn hard... to love you,
Bm A Dmaj7
I don't know why I even... try,
Bm A Dmaj7
And all I ever wanted of you...
A F#m Dmaj7
...Is to take me with you...when you fly---!
[Verse 3]
Dsus2 A
You fell out of my life one last time today,
F#m
I held your hand, and watched, as you slipped away,
Bm G
You cast your pilot's eye to the endless open sky,
E4 E
And I sent you on your way!
[Chorus]
A
How does it feel when you're falling?
F#m
Can you hear sweet angels... calling?
Bm G
Is it empty up in space? Did you touch God's holy face?
E4 E
Did you tremble? Did you cry?
Dsus2
Did you fall, or... did you fly?
