I [E]live in a building where nobody knows me,
I go to bed early, I sleep in my [D]clothes.
At [A]night I hear screaming down in the street,
I dream that I'm slipping, I reach for my [D]fe-[A]et.

[label=Chorus]
>[B]Precious, we are [A]falling down, [E]catch us.
>[B]Precious, we are [A]falling down, [E]catch us.
>Oh [D]no, [A]down we go a[E]gain. 
>Oh [D]no, [A]down we go a[E]gain. 
[/label]

?I [E]fill in the holes in my vision with dexedrine,
?the [E]landscape spins sideways, the movies and magazines
?[D]whisper as they hide on soft silky surfaces
?[A]surely my neighbors and friends have ther purposes [E]here.

The [E]building is maddening, thirty floors high
they are building a needle that pierces the [D]sky
like a [A]cold vaccination, like a smile through a polaroid,
[A]surely my neighbors and friends want to be destroyed.

[label=Chorus 2]
>[B]Precious, we are [A]falling down, [E]catch us.
>[B]Precious, we are [A]falling down, [E]catch us.
>Oh [D]no, [A]down we go a[E]gain. 
>Oh [D]no, [A]down we go a[E]gain. 
>Ohh [D]ohhh [A]Ohhhhh [E]Ohhhhh
>Oh [D]no, [A]down we go, so
[/label]

>>[E]Lend me a leaf from the rill, lifting the dreams from [D]you,
>>they sift through the meshes of the ancient after[E]noon.
>>[E]Leave me alone for awhile, leave me alone with your [D]smile,
>>and [D]listen to the breaking, all the [A]buildings we are making will be [B]gone.
