He stays home home for work this time

He never really told his wife
   Am                           F

He is falling

The world looks down and frowns.

Someone said where you going

Someone said to you goodbye

They deflect the disrespect when they say that 
      G               C     Dm
they blame it on the times

They blame it on the time.
C                               Dm
We all know you're qualified to fix a chair and love your wife
Am                                 F        
They all know you're qualified but they lie 
           G                C  Dm
when they blame it on the times.
                        Am      F      G
And we blame it on the times.
 
Pre-Chorus:
F     Am    G
He is falling

The world looks down and frowns.
