Blur - The Ballad

                [Verse]
A               D 
I just looked into my life
              Bm        F#m        
And all I saw was that you're not coming back
      D       Bm            C#m       
Oh, can't you see when the ballad comes for you
Bm             E 
It comes like me?
     A       D 
But I won't be afraid
   Bm                       F#m 
I can't seem to find you in this midnight parade
    D            Bm
I know it's all true
          C#m                 Bm       E 
When the ballad comes for me, it comes...like you

[Chorus]
G       F#m
Up close.....
           C  
I fell in love with you (I met you at an early show)
 G       F#m
You fall and
 C 
I'll fall along with you (We travelled 'round the world together)

[Interlude]
G   F   C
.........
Em   G

[Verse]
A                 D       
I just looked out to the point
           Bm               
Where the words they are hitting me
     F#m      
In a full-on assault
     D           Bm           C#m
Oh, can't you see...when the ballad comes for you
Bm            E   
It comes like me?
      A                D   
Well, I know I can't change the times
   Bm                              F#m
I know I'm already breaking when I look into your eyes
     D           Bm           C#m
Oh, can't you see...when the ballad comes for you
Bm       E  
It comes...like me?

[Chorus]
G       F#m
Up close...
   C                
I fell in love with you (I met you an early show)
 G      F#m
You fall....
 C
I'll fall along with you (We travelled 'round the world together)
