Dm
Heaven bent to take my hand
Bb F
And lead me through the fire
Cadd9/4 Dm
Be the long awaited answer
Bbsus2 F Fma7
To a long and painful fight
Dm
Truth be told I've tried my best
Bbsus2 F Fma7
But somewhere along the way
Dm Amb6 Bbsus2
I got caught up in all there was to offer
Dm Amb6 Bb
And the cost was so much more than I could bear
Gm Bb
Though I've tried, fallen...
F C Gm
I have sunk so low
Bb
I messed up
F C Gm
Better I should know
Bb F
So don't come round here
C Gm Bb A
And tell me I told you so
Dm
We all begin with good intent
Bb F
Love was raw and young
Cadd9/4 Dm
We believe that we could change ourselves
Bbsus2 F Fm7
The past could be undone
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/s/sarah_mclachlan/fallen_crd_ver_2.html ]
Dm
But we carry on our backs the burden
Bbsus2 F
Time always reveals
C Dm
In the lonely light of morning
Dm6 Bb
In the wound that would not heal
Gm Bb F
It's the bitter taste of losing everything
C Gm
That I have held so dear.
I've fallen...
F C Gm
I have sunk so low
Bb
I messed up
F C Gm
Better I should know
Bb F
So don't come round here
C Gm Bb
And tell me I told you so
F C Gm Bb C Gm Bb
Dm
Heaven bent to take my hand
Bb F
Nowhere left to turn
Cadd9/4 Dm
I'm lost to those I thought were friends
Bbsus2 F Fma7
To everyone I know
Dm
Oh they turned their heads embarassed
Bb F Fm7
Pretend that they don't see
Dm
That it's one missed step
Amb6 Bbsus2 Amb6
One slip before you know it
Dm Amb6 Bbsus2
And there doesn't seem a way to be redeemed
Gm Bb
Though I've tried, fallen...
F C Gm
I have sunk so low
Bb
I messed up
F C Gm
Better I should know
Bb F
So don't come round here
C Gm Bb
And tell me I told you so
F C Gm
Ohhhh I
Bb
I messed up
F C Gm
Better I should know
Bb F
You don't come round here
C Gm Bb C Gm Bb C Dm
And tell me I told you so
