Intro - C, G, Dsus/F#, Em repeat once
 
Verse 1 -
 
C           G             Dsus/F#     Em
I'm not sure why it always goes downhill
C         G           Dsus/F#         Em
Why broken cisterns never could stay filled
 
I've spent
 
Chorus -
 
    C             G       Dsus/F#     Em
Ten years singing gravity away
        C              G               D/F#    Em
But the water keeps on falling from the sky
 
Verse 2 -
 
C              G           Dsus/F#               Em
So here tonight while the stars are blacking out
C           G                  Dsus/F#           Em
With every hope and dream I've ever had in doubt
 
I've spent
 
Chorus -
 
C       G             Dsus/F#          Em
Ten years trying to sing these doubts away
        C              G               D/F#
But the water keeps on falling from my eyes
   C       G       Dsus/F#    Em
And heaven knows, heaven knows
     C            G            D/F#
I tried to find a cure for the pain
C       G          Dsus/F#      Em
Oh my Lord, to suffer like you do
 C            G    Dsus/F#   C
Dsus/F#, C, G, Dsus/F#
It would be a lie to run away
 
Verse 3 -
 
C           G
So blood is fire
 
Dsus/F#              Em
pulsing through our veins
C            G          Dsus/F#          Em
We're either riders, or fools behind the reigns
 
I've spent
 
Chorus -
C       G             Dsus/F#          Em
Ten years trying to sing it all away
        C              G               D/F#
But the water keeps on falling from my tries
   C       G       Dsus/F#    Em
And heaven knows, heaven knows
     C            G            D/F#
I tried to find a cure for the pain
C       G          Dsus/F#      Em
Oh my Lord, to suffer like you do
 C            G    Dsus/F#   C
It would be a lie to run away
 C            G    Dsus/F#   C
It would be a lie
C             G      Dsus/F#
It would be a lie to run away
 
Bridge -
C           G
It keeps on falling
Dsus/F#     Em
It keeps on falling
C           G
It keeps on falling
Dsus/F#     Em
It keeps on falling
        C              G               D/F#
And the water keeps on falling from my eyes
 
End -
 
   C       G       Dsus/F#    Em
And heaven knows, heaven knows
     C            G            D/F#
I tried to find a cure for the pain
C       G          Dsus/F#      Em
Oh my Lord, to suffer like you do
 C            G    Dsus/F#   C  G
C
It would be a lie to run away
 C            G    Dsus/F#   C
It would be a lie to run away
C            G    Dsus/F#   C  G  DsusF#  (Don't know last chord that it ends on)
It would be a lie to run away
 
* Repeat intro * x1

D9 means that the chord includes the third (F#) above D. Since this chord includes an F#, that's what I'd call it. A Dsus2 resolves to a D, and doesn't include the third. - Your friendly neighborhood theory nerd.

The Dsus4/F# should be labeled D9/F#, or Dsus2/F#, since the open e string is the 2nd or 9th over D, not the 4th. But, the tab sounds decent.
