Has      the      ship    run      a  -  ground

What's that shape, what's that sound?
That's just me falling down

Some of us are free, some are bound
Some will swim, some will drown
Some of us are saints, some are clowns
Just like me, they're falling down

Chorus:
-----------
CC Piano Chord 

Well I lied to the nation
EmEm Piano Chord 

While my reputation ran dry
CC Piano Chord 

EmEm Piano Chord 

Clung to the river bank's side
CC Piano Chord 

Yeah well I'm back in the water

Doing what I oughtta
EmEm Piano Chord 

Trying to lead an ordinary life

Verse two (as verse one):
---------------------------------
Is this world spinning round
Has the ship run aground
What's that shape, what's that sound
That's just me falling down

Some of us are green, some are brown
Some are lost, some are found
Sight unseen, baby, sound on sound
Pray for me, I'm falling down

Chorus Two (as chorus one):
-------------------------------------
I was lost in the jungle
Crossed over enemy lines
Well I got me a red nose
By sleeping under hedgerows at night
Yeah well I tried levitation
Flying in formation
Heaven knows the weight of this crime

(Repeat verse one omitting second stanza)
