Like Dominos by Erisa Rei Kopp/Pesky Fly Music 2011

Verse 1:
D A Em G
You keep on stacking life's troubles like it's a game to be played
D A Em G
Silly me follows along like a fool, stubborn mule
Em G D A
Thought we had it together with our roots set in the ground
Em G D A
Thought you loved me better, but one push brings the whole thing down

Chorus:
D A
Oh, like dominos
Em
Row by row
G D
Our love is falling down the line A
Like dominos Em
There you go G
Wasting all of the time Bm G
That we spent putting our life together D A Em G D
Like dominos

Verse 2:
D A Em G
I look at the pieces of our life that in a wave find their grave
D A Em G
After so striking a fall there's disappointment that we spoiled it
Em G D A
Let-down as the illusion of our dreams met their demise
Em G D A
Let-down in the confusion as my relief comes to surprise me

Chorus:
D A
Oh, like dominos
Em
Row by row
G D
Our love has fallen down the line A
Like dominos Em
There you go G
We wasted all of the time Bm G
That we spent putting our life together D A Em G D
Like dominos

Bridge:
Bm G
Tell me, is it worth it?
D A
Are we really worth it at all?

Should we pick up the pieces
Or just let them lay where they fall? Em
I have to admit it G
I don't want pick it up again

Chorus:
Oh, like dominos
Row by row
Our love's falling down the line
Like dominos
There you go
Wasting all of the time that we spent
Putting life together
Like dominos
