A very "radio" sounding song on Chris Ross' sophomore album "Halfway to Wonderland".
Fallin' Apart is a fun song to play. Standard tuning without a capo. Check out the
Youtube guitar lesson that Chris made for the song! Good luck!

(Intro is played twice before Chris sings)
You stole me away with the mitts of a Midas
You held me till I turned into gold
And the pleas we made to the sheets there beside us
Said we never ever wanna grow old
Now this bed's caught fire
And the flame returns
And I'll lay with you waitin' just
Quietly bracin' for the crash and burn
(Strum these two chords during the "It'll come in the night..." part)

It'll come in the night, it won't make a sound

It'll all be over real soon

'Cause fallin' in love is just like fallin' apart
Bm
And there's nothin' I can do
D
No this ain't just a spark honey I'm
E
Fallin' apart with you
(Intro twice before Chris sings again)

Hot through the curtains the daylight's upon us
And it's singing your praises loud
And I can't say for certain I could keep every promise
But I could make 'em all right now
Cause this bed's caught fire
And the flame returns
And it rings like a symphony the
Prettiest revelry you ever heard

It'll wake up the neighbors, it'll shake through the ground
Bm
It'll break through the bricks and the blues
C#m
'Cause fallin' in love is just like fallin' apart
Bm
And there's nothin' I can do
D
No this ain't just a spark honey I'm
E
Fallin' apart with you
(Play Intro twice before the Bridge)
A
It'll crash with a quiet crescendo
C#m
It'll crack through the glass of your walls
Bm
It'll follow you wherever that you go
D
'Till all that you can do is crawl
A
It'll strike up a conversation
C#m
And every word it says is true
Bm
It's Heaven's own confirmation
D
No this ain't just a spark honey I'm
E
Fallin' apart with you
(When playing live, Chris plays the intro riff two more times...Ending the second time with this)
