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


[Chorus]
G                        C
You give me chills, I've had it with the drills
     G                                C
I am nothing, you are nothing, we are nothing with the pills
     G                      C
I am empty 'til she fills, alive until she kills
       G                         C
In hеr a vampire empire, I'm thе fish and she's my gills


[Post-Chorus]
G         C
Falling, yeah
   G      C
Falling, yeah


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


[Chorus]
G                        C
You give me chills, I've had it with the drills
     G                                C
I am nothing, you are nothing, we are nothing with the pills
     G                      C
I am empty 'til she fills, alive until she kills
       G                         C
In hеr a vampire empire, I'm thе fish and she's my gills


[Post-Chorus]
G         C
Falling, yeah
   G      C
Falling, yeah

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


[Chorus]
G                        C
You give me chills, I've had it with the drills
     G                                C
I am nothing, you are nothing, we are nothing with the pills
     G                      C
I am empty 'til she fills, alive until she kills
       G                         C
In hеr a vampire empire, I'm thе fish and she's my gills


[Post-Chorus]
G         C
Falling, yeah
   G      C
Falling, yeah
