[Am] fall _ _ _ [Dm] _ down _ _ to the top [D#] of a mountain, [Dm] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
inside a hollow [F#] stone. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Bm] _ _ _
I pretend that I'm an Iron Man, _ yes, _ _ _ [Bm] _
_ instead of flesh and bone.
[D] _ _ _ _ _ [Em] _ _ _
The world is just a [E] simple circle, _ _ _ _ _ [B] and _ _ it keeps [B] on [A] turning.

_ _ [G] _ _ Cause you've seen the weakest me, [F#] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Bm] _ _
and now you know I'm [Bm] only human. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ Instead [B] of all the things [G] I'd like to be, _ _ _ _ [Em] _ the world is just a simple [A] circle. _
_ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _
You've got to [B] keep on [A] turning. _
