Falling Slowly (Glen Hansard & Marketa Irglova)

submitted by Vi and Mike D (Note from Minh: The chords here work, but don't quite match the recording--song is in a different key or something... can't quite figure out what's the deal. If you know, then fill us in!)

Chords Used: C-F-Am-G



[intro fingerpicking on alternating C / F chords]

[C]I don't know you, [F]but I want you
[C]All the more for [F]that
[C]Words fall through me and [F]always fool me
[C]And I can't re[F]act

And [Am]games that [G]never a[F]mount
To [G]more than they're [Am]meant
Will [G]play themselves [F]out

[strumming]

[C]Take this sinking [F]boat and point it [Am]home
We've still got [G]ti[F]me
[C]Raise your hopeful [F]voice you have a [Am]choice
You've made it [G]no[F]w

[picking]

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

[Am]You have [G]suffered e[F]nough
And [G]warred with your[Am]self
It's [G]time that you [F]won

[strumming]

[C]Take this sinking [F]boat and point it [Am]home
We've still got [G]ti[F]me
[C]Raise your hopeful [F]voice you have a [Am]choice
You've made it [G]no[F]w

[C]Take this sinking [F]boat and point it [Am]home
We've still got [G]ti[F]me
[C]Raise your hopeful [F]voice you have a [Am]choice
You've made it [G]no[F]w

[C]Falling slowly [F]sing your melody
[Am]and I'll sing a[G]lo[F]ng
