FALLING THROUGH THE BOTTOM LINE    

Intro:  F#m  D  B7  D   F#m  D  B7  D

   F#m                     D
In such a move through the shadows
             B7                   D
The price of patience keeps goin' up
The dollar keeps slidin' downward
The people runnin' out of luck
Fire guts the refugee camp
Children pissin' all over the throne
The windows in this building don't open
Judgement's waitin' on the telephone


CHORUS:
     A                   D
It's 90 million miles to heaven
 A                D
87 stories to the street
    A                          D
I'm fallin' through the bottom line
        C#7                 F#m     D
I never knew the air was so sweet
       B7                    D      F#m  D  B7  D
I pray God let me land on my feet



Don't call this "Useless City"
It uses everything in sight
Oh, there were animals all around us
And diamond stars in the night
I was the knight in shining armor
But the armor it got too tight
It's rusted just like the rest of me
Now it's off into the refugee night

[repeat CHORUS]


Death he knows no secrets
So cold his breath of old
Oh I recall those wild strawberries
And the beauty who held the bowl
There's a man who's grown so skinny
And who's got time for friends
Somethin' sctratchin' at the window
And the TV keeps saying "The End"

[repeat CHORUS]


Maybe I'll just keep fallin'
Until this life is gone
I just been fallin' and fallin'
Ever since I was born
In this world we're all gypsies
Livin' on borrowed time
Steppin' over glass and barbed wire
They call this the bottom line

[repeat CHORUS]

Ending riff:  E C# B A F#
