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:
-----------
C
Well I lied to the nation
Em
While my reputation ran dry
C
From my lungs to my liver
Em
Clung to the river bank's side
C
Yeah well I'm back in the water
Doing what I oughtta
Em
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)
Ending:
-----------
C Em
Falling down
C Em
Falling down
C Em
Falling down
C Em
Falling down
(Play verse "riff" twice ending with slight crescendo on second time)

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official TEARS FOR FEARS tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
