[Intro] C Am Em Em C Am Em Em [Verse 1]
C        Am          Em
  Once I wanted to be the greatest

C           Am              Em
 No wind or waterfall could stop me

    F             Dm
And then came the rush of the flood

G
Stars at night turned deep to dust
[Chorus]
         C
Melt me down

     Am            Em
To big black armor

         C        Am
Leave no trace of grace

             Em
Just in your honor

         C
Lower me down

   Am
To culprit south

Em
Make 'em wash a space in town

         F
For the lead

        Dm
And the dregs in my bed

      G
Been sleepin'

          F
Lower me down

       Dm
Pin me in

           G
Secure the grounds

                  C  Am  Em  Em
For the later parade
[Verse 2]
C        Am          Em
  Once I wanted to be the greatest

C             Am     Em
 Two fists of solid rock

C                Am
With brains that could explain

    Em
Any feeling
[Chorus]
          F
Lower me down

       Dm
Pin me in

           G
Secure the grounds

        F
For the lead

        Dm
And the dregs in my bed

      G
Been sleepi-in'

                  C  Am  Em  Em
For the later parade
C Am Em Em [Verse 3]
C        Am             Em
  Once I wanted to be the greatest

C           Am              Em
 No wind or waterfall could stop me

    F             Dm
And then came the rush of the flood

G
Stars at night turned deep to dust
[Outro] F Dm G
