"Over the Waterfall"
by: Robert Earl Keen, Jr.
album: Picnic

*Intro: Em, Bm (x2)

Verse1

Em
I slipped through your fingers

Bm
Into the clouds

Am
Ran down the concrete hallways

C
Pushed through the crowd

Em
I watched by the water

Bm
Reached for the sun

C
Why did I bother

G
What's done is done

*Chorus

F              C
And all that's left of me now

Bm
Is waiting to drown

C        D
Over the waterfall (x2)

C        D           Em
Over the waterfall

D      C
I fall down

*Verse2

Soldiers of fortune
Stand by your door
You can't remember
What you hired them for

You cleared your concience
And I left a stain
The beauty of sadness is
Feeling the pain

*Repeat Chorus

*Bridge

G            D                        C
And only the sad stone man can hear my cry

And only the tall blue girl can see

I lost my way, I left no alibis

So no one will know you knew me

*Instrumental: Em, Bm, C, G, F, C, Bm, C, D, C, D, C, D, Em, D, C

*Verse3

Randomly speaking
Pieces of light
The clowns from the circus
Got drunk here last night

They talked of reunion
And then left on their own
What they've never known is
What you've always known

*Repeat Chorus

F              C
And all that's left of me now

Bm
Is waiting to drown

C        D
Over the waterfall (x2)

C        D           Em  D   C
Over the waterfall

C        D
Over the waterfall (x2)

C        D           Em
Over the waterfall

D      C
I fall down

*Outro: C, D, C, D, C, D, Em, D, C
