[verse 1]
 A                         D/A
Watching TV tired, bleeding on the bed
     A                             D/A
The milk has just expired, all the leaves are dead
         A
I’m not quiet, you’ve been quiet —
       D/A
just receiving what you said
 A
Reeling, feeding, feeling filled
   D/A
 by everything you fed
   A
I see you as you see yourself
       D/A
through all the books you read
A                             D/A
Overwhelmed with guilt and realizing the disease

[chorus]
A                        D/A
You give me chills, I’ve had it with the drills
     A
I’m nothing, you are nothing,
       D/A
we are nothing with the pills
    A                      D/A
I’m empty till she fills, alive until she kills
        A               D/A
In her vampire empire, I am
    A     D/A
Falling, yeah
    A     D/A
Falling, yeah

[verse 2]
   A                     D/A
I see you there rejecting all your earthly power
    A
Protecting and dissecting
           D/A
till you’ve emptied every hour
    A
We jump into the pond,
        D/A
then we come under the shower
     A
You lay upon my pillow
       D/A
and you open like a flower
   A
I wanted to see you naked,
  D/A
I wanted to hear you scream
 A
Wanted to kiss your skin
  D/A
and your everything
   A
I wanted to be your woman,
  D/A
I wanted to be your man
   A
I wanted to be the one
       D/A
that you could understand

[chorus]
A
You give me chills,
     D/A
I’ve had it with the drills
     A
I’m nothing, you are nothing,
       D/A
we are nothing with the pills
    A                      D/A
I’m empty till she fills, alive until she kills
        A               D/A
In her vampire empire, I am
    A     D/A
Falling, yeah
    A     D/A
Falling, yeah

[bridge]
A  D/A
Oh, oh
A  D/A
Oh, oh
A  D/A
Oh, oh
A  D/A
Oh, ah

[verse 3]
           N.C.
Well, I’ve walked into your dagger
        N.C.
for the last time
           N.C.
It’s like trying to start
            N.C.
a fire with matches in the snow
      N.C.
Where you can’t seem to hold me,
      N.C.
can’t seem to let me go
     N.C.
So I can’t find surrender
      N.C.
and I can’t keep control
     A
You turn me inside out
             D/A
and then you want the outside in
      A
You spin me all around,
        D/A
then you ask me not to spin
     A
You say you want to be alone
D/A
 and you want children
     A
You wanna be with me,
    D/A
you wanna be with him

[chorus]
A
You give me chills,
     D/A
I’ve had it with the drills
     A
I’m nothing, you are nothing,
       D/A
we are nothing with the pills
    A
I’m empty till she fills,
 D/A
alive until she kills
        A               D/A
In her vampire empire, I am
    A     D/A
Falling, yeah
    A     D/A
Falling, yeah
    A     D/A
Falling, yeah
    A     D/A
Falling, yeah
    A     D/A
Falling, yeah
    A     D/A  A
Falling, yeah
