[Verse]
D# F# D#
The sky is falling, human race that we run
D# F# D#
Has left me crawling, staring straight at the sun
D# F# D#
Only a moment I notice, every dog has his day
D# F#
I paid attention, cost me so much today...
G# G/G# F# Bb
For so long, I saw only wrong
G# G/G# F# Bb7
But now to remind, it's a waste of time!
[Chorus]
D# F#
Close your eyes and see the skies are fallin'
D# F#
Close your eyes and see the skies are fallin'
(play intro)
[Verse]
D# F# D#
I wanted something, nothing blank, I don't know
D# F# D#
It's all deflecting, stones are easy to throw
D# F# D#
Only a moment I notice, hours, days left behind
D# F#
Of wasted, useless, selfless, none of a kind...
G# G/G# F# Bb
For so long, I saw only wrong
G# G/G# F# Bb7
But now to remind, not to go back to the low!
F F# B
That has drained my life so low
F F# B
That has drained my life so low
F F# B
That has drained my life so low
D# F D# F D# F D# F
That has draiiiiiined my....
[Chorus]
D# F#
Close your eyes and see the skies are fallin'
D# F#
Close your eyes and see the skies are fallin'
D# F#
Close your eyes and see the skies are fallin'
D# F#
Close your eyes and see the skies are fallin'
[variation of intro/guitar solo]
[Chorus]
D# F#
Close your eyes and see the skies are fallin'
D# F#
Close your eyes and see the skies are fallin'
D# F#
Close your eyes and see the skies are fallin'
D# F#
Close your eyes and see the skies are fallin'
