Bb
Here we are
Bb
Stuck by this river,
Gm
You and I
Gm
Underneath a sky that's ever falling 
Eb
down, down, down
Gm
Ever falling down.
 
Through the day
As if on an ocean
Waiting here,
Always failing to remember why we
  came, came, came:
I wonder why we came.
 
You talk to me
as if from a distance
And I reply
With impressions chosen from another
  time, time, time,
From another time.

Fine. But the last chord position.. (I changed the key +2 semitones) Here we are C Stuck by this river, Am You and I Am Underneath a sky that's ever falling F down, down, down Am Ever falling down.

I have hand problems, so I couldn't manage ... uh, any of the original chords. However, transposed to -3 with G Em and C it works well. It also allows for a very easy scale on the "down, down, down" part--start with C, then Am for the second down, then Em for the last one. Thank you for the chords ! I've always wanted to play this song, didn't realize it was so easy with a few modifications.
