 progresses, the pattern becomes more and more elaborate, so try to
 listen how he does it. You can, of course, strum your heart out as
 well... Try it out.<<

      Em                 C         D    
 It's everybody's world, one man's grave
     Em                              C       Dsus2 
 And heaven only knows what's hidden up this late
       Em                                 C        D    
 Using diamonds, clubs, and spades, he'll win your heart
     Em                          C                Dsus2 
 And build a house of cards, and build a house of cards

         D   Em   C   
 'Til we all fall down
        D   Em   C   
 And we all fall down
          D   Em   C   
 Watch us all fall down
 Em...
 Like black rain
 
 (...Em...C/G...Dadd4add9) x2
 
 VERSE3 (more or less strummed, same chords as other verses)
 The building's getting tall; watch it scr*pe the sky
 Can't see the stars at all through the city lights
 When the fuel runs low, who cares if we're getting high?
 It's not the things you know, but the things that you deny
 
 CHORUS
              D   Em   C   
 That make us all fall down
        D   Em   C   
 And we all fall down
          D   Em   C   
 Watch us all fall down
            Em  C Bm 
 Like black rain
            Em  C Bm 
 Like black rain
 
 VERSE4 (picking again, same as verse 1)
 A dirty rain is falling at my feet
 And people walk pretending not to see
 And I don't know why everybody wants what they don't need
 
 CHORUS
 Well we all fall down
 'Til we all fall down
 Watch the oil fall down
 Like black rain
 Em C Bm (repeat until end)
 Like black rain
 
 (It's not always gonna rain)
 (It's not always gonna rain)
 (It's not always gonna rain)
 (Black rain)
