stanza 1: rhythm fig 1 continues...
  D 
never meant to waste your time
  D
never meant to fall out of line
  D                              G
I always tried to get closer to you
 D
now it seems with every step
  D
feels like I'm losin' my breath
D                            G  
I don't know what else I can do
Refrain: (both guitars)

Em
but you wash over me
 G                     D
you wash over me like rain
     Em
and you wash over me
 G                        rhythm fig.1
you wash over me like sunshine

(same as stanza 1)
I never had to choose
living a life with you
or choosing lies only half true
now I'd rather be
alone with you and me
than hiding behind these walls

Refrain:(both guitars)
      Em    
when you wash over me
 G                     D
you wash over me like rain
     Em             
and you wash over me
 G                       D
you wash over me like sunshine
 Em
and you wash over me
 G                     D
you wash over me like rain
     Em                      
and you fall over me
 G                
you crawl over me 
      *enters distortion
      D-Am-C
like sunshine
      D-Am-C
like sunshine
       D                      Am     
everything in the world was falling through
 C
all I knew was to look to you
    D-Am-C
my sunshine
 D                 Am
all my life never found my place
   C
until I felt the sunlight on my face
    D-Am-C
my sunshine

(same as top)stanza chords
never meant to waste your time
never meant to fall out of line
I always tried  to get closer to you
now it seems with every step
feels like I'm losing my breath
I don't know what else I can do

Refrain: ( both guitars)
     Em
but you wash over me
 G                     D
you wash over me like rain
 Em      
and you wash over me
 G                       D
you wash over me like sunshine
     Em  
and you wash over me
 G                     D
you wash over me like rain
     Em  
and you fall into me
 G
you crawl into me 
      *enters distortion
      D-Am-C
like sunshine
      D-Am-C
like sunshine
      D-Am-C
like sunshine
      D-Am-C
like sunshine

Tab Discussion, Comments, and Critiques


No Picture sebastian Average	#1 by sebastian daalmeijer at May 2, 1974 at 1:21 PM EST
	I agree with some of the posts about the song referring to people and life in general. I think though, it might be about someone who's struggling with a major problem on their own. Their 'sky is falling' and no one realizes what they're going through.

No Picture The Crow Rhythm Player	#2 by The Crow at Apr 21, 1978 at 8:49 AM EST
	Its about sometimes when people can easily adjust back to their regular life althought something unbeleivable has happened, sort of reminded me of 9-11..

No Picture Mistress Cheyen Rhythm Player	#3 by Mistress Cheyenne at Jan 4, 1987 at 6:09 PM EST
	oh my god, no comments for this, no way This son is pretty amazing, totally different song to most others. maybe about people not knowing whats going on around them, ignorance. Not caring erally, so "im alive but tell me am i free, ive got eyes but tell me can i see" and "the sky is falling and no one knows" i cant realy be sure of the meaning but its a wonderful song that makes ya think

No Picture albert Rhythm Player	#4 by albert casualtie at Nov 23, 1988 at 6:14 AM EST
	This song is absolutely amazing. By far my favorite off of Stanley Climbfall. This acoustic version is incredible. I'm surprised more people haven't commented on it.

No Picture joel Average	#5 by joel christman at Mar 6, 1995 at 4:56 PM EST
	he didn't write about the World Trade Centers falling...its a song about the ignorance that people live in. its this thought of what will life come to. and what is the purpose and meaning for why i am here. think about The Matrix. how neo had to breakthrough to another world ,,,the real world, to realize the illusion that he had been living his whole life. btw...lifehouse is a christian band...and it perfectly correlates to the idea of heaven.

No Picture Jimmy Average	#6 by Jimmy Dresbach at Jan 8, 1996 at 7:56 PM EST
	He wrote it about the World Trade Centers falling on 9/11.

No Picture Harry Average	#7 by Harry Johnson at Oct 11, 2007 at 7:44 AM EST
	The song was written just after 9/11 but it isnt specifically about that, its about how quickly people go back to their everyday lives after something huge happens, it can be related to anything, someone dying, a huge incident like 9/11 or just the end of the relationship cause the line "the sky is falling and no one knows" Can be taken in different ways, either that YOUR whole world is collapsing around you and no one else notices because they've got their own problems. or The whole world is in a mess and no one pays any attention because 'its just one of those things' or 'its not their problem' Be open minded, dont try and make this song about any specific thing and then it will make a lot more sense.
