Intro: C - Em - Am - F

    [C]                                  [Em]                       
I'm lying here on the floor just like the man on the yellow cone
 [Am]                           [F]
I guess the floor was wet so I'm cold and I'm all alone
             [C]                             [Em] 
'Cause I was running down the stairs I didn't think that I could fall
    [Am]                      [F]   
But gravity took over me and I crumpled like a ball

      [C]               [Em]           [Am] ... [F]
But if you would pick me up I'd be obliged
[C]           [Em]             [Am] ... [F]
Dust may often push my hair aside

Well it's later than I thought, and I thought it was pretty late
I guess everyone's asleep, wonder why I'm still awake
I could fall asleep right here with my hands under my head
There's a body in this stairwell, call the cops I think she's dead

But if you would pick me up I'd be obliged
Dust may often push my hair aside

Well I can't lie, perhaps I didn't trip
I've been having troubles lately and I got something to admit
See I was standing at the top thinking about the earth
It's been so hard to just keep living so I thought it might be worth it

But if you would pick me up I'd be obliged
Dust may often push my hair aside
            [C]
Kiss me goodbye.
