[Verse 1]
F A# C
Right on time here's the other shoe
F A# C
Clouds overhead start to loom
F A# C
Some born to win others fate to lose
F A# C
From the options we must choose
F A# C
My friend dread is right on time
F A# C
Can't start to think that it is fine
F A# C
Watch the tower as it starts to teeter
F A# C
New lyrics follow the same old meter

It can't be comfortable when the whole thing's about to fall

[Verse 2]
F A# C
Butterflies, my stomach starts to heave
F A# C
What joyous blunder waits for me
F A# C
Finished first but I missed the start
F A# C
Hitched the mule behind the cart
F A# C
Take the rose by the thorns
F A# C
Hope for sun, but here's the storm
F A# C
So head outside and wait for rain
F A# C
Watch it all go down the drain
[Pre-Chorus]

It can't be comfortable when the whole thing's about to fall

[Verse 3]
F A# C
We settle in but it's time to go
F A# C
Taken to sea by the undertow
F A# C
Love the smell but I hate the taste
F A# C
Feeling good is such a waste
F A# C
Loved the book but I hate the end
F A# C
Gained a lover but I lost a friend
F A# C
Straight to worst, from the best
F A# C
Nothin' fills that hole in my chest
[Pre-Chorus]
A# A C A# D C D#
It can't be comfortable when the whole thing's about to fall
[Verse 4]
F G D C
To make things worse, it all goes so fast
F G D C
And we try to hold on as they go past
F G D C
We need a Peter, we get a Paul
F G D C
At least Judas had the balls
F G D C
To make a move on these building doubts
F G D C
About how this messiah would shake out
F G D C
I feel the nail against my skin
F G D C
Wait for the hammer to drive it in
[Pre-Chorus]

It can't be comfortable when the whole thing's about to fall

It can't be comfortable when the whole thing's about to...
A# A C A# D C D#
It can't be comfortable when the whole thing's about to...

It can't be comfortable when the whole thing's about to fall
