[Verse 1]
Em  C
    I can't leave my house
B  B7     Em
      Or answer the phone
C
I'm going down again
             B7
But I'm not alone

[Verse 2]
   B
Settling at last
                Em
Accounts of the soul
 C
This for the trash
B  B7           Em
  That paid in full

[Verse 3]
 C
As for the fall, it
 C/B       Am
Began long ago
                B7
Can't stop the rain
                Em
Can't stop the snow

[Verse 4]
   G
I sit in my chair
               Am
I look at the street
      B7
The neighbor returns
    Em
My smile of defeat

[Verse 5]
   C                   C/B  Am
I move with the leaves
                   B7
I shine with the chrome
            Em
I'm almost alive
               Em   C
I'm almost at home

[Verse 6]
B           B7
No one to follow
                Em
And nothing to teach
  C
Except that the goal
                         Em
Falls short of the reach
