Ruby Falls Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[C]I take flight on [G]borrowed time
I [Am]was once terri[Em]fied of heights
[Am]I say a prayer
I look [C]down and I'm [G]ready to die

[Verse 2]
[C]If you cross [G]over tonight
[Am]You see beyond [Em]the darkest sky
You [Am]taste the blood [C]as something
wild [G]and alive

[Verse 3]
You might [F]light up in a flash
[G]You won't hold ont[C]o a f[Am]lame
It's [F]a squalid way to [G]live
But it's the [C]rules of the [Am]game

[Verse 4]
It ain't [F]your fault
It's just a shame
[Dm]To fall with[G]out aim

[Interlude 1]
[C][G][Am][C][Am][C][G]

[Verse 5]
[C]I walk down east [G]seventh street
A wist[Am]ful, wild de[C]pravity
Icon[Am]oclastic, [C]black and white,
dusty [G]an d sweet

[Verse 6]
I [C]tell this story [G]every time
Real love [Am]don't follow [C]a straight line
It break[Am]s your neck
It build[C]s you a[G] delicate shrine

[Verse 7]
You might [F]mourn all that [G]you wasted
That's just [C]part of the [Am]haul
Tangling [F]up all your good for[G]tune
Bearing the [C]heart of [Am]the fall
You won't [F]break it after [G]all[C]

[Verse 8]
Look [C]at us, man [G]and bride
And a grind[D]ing sound
Faithful [C]to a life [G]under[D]ground

[Verse 9]
And when [C]the picture fades
[G]The years wil[D]l make us calm
I'll sing [C]a song at [G]your funer[D]al
Laid in [C]the Missis[G]sippi gulf
[D]Or back [C]home [G]at Waxahat
[D]chee creek
You know [C]you got [G]a friend in [D]me
I'm an [C]angler mar[G]ried to the sea

[Outro 1]
