[Opening]
I’ve been [E]beaten and broken and [A]tread [E]upon
I was [E]made to feel stupid when [A]I was [E]young
And they say, [E]”No is the answer to the [A][E]temptations”
When those [F#]demons come rushing, [A]nowhere to [E]run
[chorus]
Sometimes [A]I [B]I feel nothing at [E]all
Sometimes [A]I [B]I want someone to [E]hold
Sometimes [A]I carry [B]on just to [C#m]stumble [B]down once [A]more
Sometimes [Am]I, I, I wanna [E]fall
[section 2]
I teach [E]love is the fluid in [A]all my [E]songs, mmmm
But then I’ll [E]fake my way through it with [A][E]alcohol
I speak the [E]language so fluid, lost in [A][E]translation
But I guess [F#m]they don’t see you in their [A]camera [E]phones, oh no
[chorus]
Sometimes [A]I [B]I feel nothing at [E]all
Sometimes [A]I [B]I want someone to [E]hold
Sometimes [A]I carry [B]on just to [C#m]stumble [B]down once [A]more
Sometimes [Am]I, I, I wanna [E]fall
[Closing]
[A][B](Yeah) [E]I just wanna fall down, I just wanna fall
[A](Yeah) I just wanna [B]fall, I just wanna [E]fall
Sometimes [A]I carry [B]on just to [C#m]stumble [B]down once [A]more
Sometimes [Am]I, I, I wanna [E]fall
