Verse
]

[E][Aadd9][E]

I've been beaten and broken and tread upon

[E][Aadd9][E]

I was made to feel stupid when I was young

[E][Aadd9][E]

And they say, "No is the answer to the temptations"

[Aadd9][E]
[F#add11]

When those demons come rushing, nowhere to run

Chorus

[Aadd9][E]
[Badd11]

Sometimes I I feel nothing at all

[Aadd9][E]
[Badd11]

Sometimes I I want someone to hold

[Aadd9][C#m][Aadd9]
[Badd11][Badd11]

Sometimes I carry on just to stumble down once more

[Am][E]

Sometimes I, I, I wanna fall

Verse 2

[E][Aadd9][E]

I teach love is the fluid in all my songs, mm mm

[E][Aadd9][E]

But then I'll fake my way through it with alcohol

[E][Aadd9][E]

I speak the language so fluid, lost in translation

[F#m][Aadd9][E]

But I guess they don't see you in their camera phones, oh no

Time Signature 4/4

auto_awesome

Fall by James Arthur is played in the key of E. Originally recorded in the sounding key of E, 'Fall' by James Arthur is best approached with a Capo placed on Fret 4, enabling guitarists to execute friendly C shapes while fully preserving the studio pitch. The F#m chord can be navigated using an open F#m7 variation or capo shifting to exploit natural Em open fingerings across all primary song verses. The primary progression challenge lies in switching between Aadd9 and C#m: keep your fingers hovering close to the fretboard rather than flying off between changes. Set your metronome at an initial practice tempo of 79 BPM in 4/4 time to master the '↓ - ↓ ↑ - ↑ ↓ ↑' strumming groove, emphasizing steady downstrokes on beats one and three before accelerating toward the studio speed of 110 BPM.
