Kris Allen - Falling Slowly Chords & Tabs

Kris' version of the song is the same as the original, but he puts a

Capo on the 2nd fret.

      I don't know you, but I want you  all the more for that


 [Verse 1]

      C               F               C               F

      Words fall through me, (and) always fool me, and I can't react


 [Verse 2 (this part is an approximation but is close; piano and vocals kind of
  drown out the guitar, so just play some similar arpeggio based on the chords]
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/k/kris_allen/falling_slowly_tab_ver_3.html ]

And games that never a-mount to more than they're meant Will play themselves out


 [Chorus] (relatively metered strums [8th notes] with up-strums [16th notes]
           just before each chord transition)

   C                 F                 Am                    F
   Take this sinking boat and point it home, we've still got time

   C                  F                Am                     F
   Raise your hopeful voice you have a choice, you'll make it now


 [Verse 1]
   C               F                  C                  F
   Falling slowly, eyes that know me, and I can't go back
   C                  F             C                    F
   Moods that take me and erase me, and I'm painted black

 [Verse 2]
   Am       G          F         G                Am         G             F
   You have suffered e-nough and warred with your-self, it's time that you won

 [Chorus]

   C                 F                 Am                    F
   Take this sinking boat and point it home, we've still got time

   C                  F                Am                     F
   Raise your hopeful voice you have a choice, you've made it now

   C              F              Am              F
   Falling slowly sing your melo-dy, I'll sing a-long

 [Outtro] (lots of strums on F, while humming, then back to the intro once)

I got the original version from Aaron Rubin Esq. III, Jr. on tabondant.
