Artist: Falling Up
Song: Down Here
Album: Midnight on Earthship (2012)
Author: Jessy Ribordy
Note: The song enters (lyrically) at 3/4 through the first measure,
so the transition to Em7 (from G) in the first verse will be stuck
on the word "am." This overlap continues through the verses, with
the "end" of "G" starting on the first line.
Verse 1:
G Em7 Cadd9
All that I am to all that You are
G
Is one dimming flicker to millions of stars
G Em7 Cadd9
All that I have to all that You gave
G
Is laboring breathing to blood in my veins
G Em7 Cadd9
And gold like the blood that had to be suffered
G Dsus4
So I could spend it away
Chorus:
Cadd9 Em7 D Cadd9 (loops)
'Cause I'm down here I'm a little lower, a little further down
Cadd9 Em7 D
Down here I'm a little lower, a little further down
Cadd9 Em7 D
Down here I'm a little lower, a little further down
Cadd9 Em7 D Cadd9
Down here I'm a little lower, a little further down
Verse 2:
Em7 Cadd9
I dream of kings, I dream of kingdoms
G
I dream of distance where speed can't be tamed
G Em7 Cadd9
I speak of secrets, I speak of fame
G
I’m building constructs so they'll know my name
G Em7 Cadd9
And when I am older, and when I am bored
G Dsus4
I’ll take up Your promise
Chorus:
Cadd9 Em7 D Cadd9 (loops)
'Cause I'm down here I'm a little lower, a little further down
Cadd9 Em7 D
Down here I'm a little lower, a little further down
Cadd9 Em7 D
Down here I'm a little lower, a little further down
Cadd9 Em7 D Cadd9
Down here I'm a little lower, a little further down
