When I fall

1. Late at night on some dark deserted highway,
Em C D
on my
way to another lonesome town,
Em C
G - D
I thought I might see the
first light of a new day,
Em Bm D - D7
- D - D7
as it
lay like fool’s gold on the ground.
C
D
But whenever I’m feeling low,
G C
I won’t have to cry alone, I know,
C D
G
‘cause you will answer when I call.
C D
If I soar above the clouds and then,
G C
I come crashin’ back to earth again,
C
D G
you will catch me when I fall.

Em C G - D
2. All these years I’ve watched you trip and stumble,
Em C D
there
were times that I feared that you were lost,
Em C G - D
And every tear I dried after
you tumbled,
Em Bm
D - D7 - D - D7
comes
to mind when I’m considering the cost.

3. In my heart there’s a place for you to run
to,
Em C
D
any
time you’re tired and hurt and blue,
Em C
G - D
For my part I have only to
remind you,
Em Bm D -
D7 - D - D7
you
will find me waiting when you do.
C D
But whenever I’m feeling low,
G C
I won’t have to cry alone, I know,
C D G
‘cause you will answer when I call.
C D
If I soar above the clouds and then,
G C
I come crashin’ back to earth again,
C
D G
you will catch me when I fall.
C D
But whenever I’m feeling low,
G C
I won’t have to cry alone, I know ....
