My Own Fall

             Am
you were born
        D
toes over the edge
G                 E
sixteen miles high
                     Am
when you were born
                D
they failed to inform
                G                      E
yeah that boys aren't built for flying
                Am
you inched closer to the ledge
D                       G                  E
arms out wide as if to receive the sky
             Am                    D
and in a thousand frozen faces yours was
             G                         E
the only one there to crack a smile

E
and i heard you
        E
and i heard you whisper

Am                      C
"i can break my own fall,
                E
break my own fall,
     F  E
i can break
Am                      C
i can break my own fall
                E
break my own fall
           F           E          Am
and if i break it's my own fault"

               Am
well i was born
           D
holding my breath
        G                              E
i was born on the edge of my seat
        Am
i was born
D
loving you
                G                                      E
while you dance through your days on a balance beam
                Am                      D
i saw you take that faithfull step
        G                      E
like something from a dream
                Am
and in a thousand empty eyes
D                         G                              E
mine were the only ones there to watch you leave

E
and i heard you
        E
and i heard you whisper

Am                      C
"i can break my own fall,
                E
break my own fall,
     F  E
i can break
Am                      C
i can break my own fall
                E
break my own fall
           F           E          Am
and if i break it's my own fault"
