Bm (I can hear you calling me) [Verse 2] Bm G I'm going down with the waterfall D Em Heading to places they haven't made a record for Bm G Keep on the good side of every low D Em Nowhere to hide, no horizon, nowhere to go [Pre-Chorus 2] Bm Sometimes I feel you with me G Sometimes I go alone D Sometimes you give your blessing Em Sometimes I feel the love N.C.
