Fallen Sarah McLachlan
The only version of this song I know is the one from McLachlan's Live Version EP, so it
may differ ever, ever so slightly in lyrics. Just a disclaimer!
He[Am]aven bent to take my hand
and le[F]ad me through the f[C]ire -
be the l[G]ong-awaited a[Am]nswer
to a l[F]ong and painful fi[C]ght.[G]
T[Am]ruth be told, I tried my best,
but s[F]omewhere along the w[C]ay
I [Am]got caught up in a[C]ll there was to of[F]fer,
and the p[Am]rice was so much m[C]ore than I could b[F]ear.
Though I've tried, I've fallen. I h[C]ave
su[G]nk so low[Dm]. I me[F]ssed up -
be[C]tter, [G]I should know.
[Dm] So don't co[F]me 'round here
and t[C]ell me, "I to[G]ld you [Dm]so."
We a[Am]ll begin with good intent:
l[F]ove was raw and yo[C]ung.
We beli[G]eved that we could c[Am]hange ourselves,
the p[F]ast could be undo[C]ne.
B[G]ut we c[Am]arry on our backs the burden
t[F]ime always reve[C]als
in the lo[G]nely light of mo[Am]rning,
in the wo[Dm]und that would not h[F]eal.
It's the b[Dm]itter taste o[F]f losing everyt[C]hing
that I've h[G]eld so d[Dm]ear.
I've fallen. I h[C]ave
su[G]nk so low[Dm]. I me[F]ssed up -
be[C]tter, [G]I should know.
[Dm] So don't co[F]me 'round here
and t[C]ell me, "I to[G]ld you [Dm]so."
He[Am]aven, bend to take my hand:
n[F]owhere left to t[C]urn.
I'm l[G]ost to those I th[Am]ought were friends,
to e[F]veryone I k[C]now.
[G]Oh, they t[Am]urn their heads, embarassed,
prete[F]nd that they d[C]on't see.
But it's [Am]one missed step,
o[C]ne slip before you kn[F]ow it.
And there d[Am]oesn't seem a w[C]ay to be rede[F]emed.
Though I've tried, I've fallen. I h[C]ave
su[G]nk so low[Dm]. I me[F]ssed up -
be[C]tter, [G]I should know.
[Dm] So don't co[F]me 'round here
and t[C]ell me, "I to[G]ld you [Dm]so."
