Chords

[Intro] E A E B C#m E A B E [Verse 1]
E                  A    E
Micheladas in the afternoon

 B                      C#m
Lie on the couch in a rented room

  E                   A
Watchin' Jeopardy without the sound

      B           E
It's easy to stay down
[Verse 2]
  E                 A       E
Quick mistakes and long goodbyes

  B                   C#m
Hold-over truths and necessary lies

E                         A
I caught a train that was backwards-bound

      B           E
It's easy to stay down
[Chorus]
       A            E              A
Stay down 'til your mind has been cleared

           C             B
And your trail can't be found

      A              B         C#m
Stay down with your eye to the sky

          C           B
And your ear to the ground
[Verse 3]
 E                             A          E
Down by the pool with all my brand-new friends

 B                         C#m
Re-writin' letters that I'll never send

 E                     A
Declinin' invitations into town

      B               E
It's easy to stay down
[Verse 4]
 E                          A       E
Slowly admit that you have had your fun

 B                           C#m
The girl you loved and every word you sung

 E                        A
All the profane that you thought profound

      B                   E
It's time now to stay down

[Chorus]
      A              E               A
Stay down 'til the smoke has been cleared

           C           B
And your name can't be found

      A              B           C#m
Stay down with your head in the clouds

          C           B
And your eyes to the ground
[Verse 5]
 E                      A    E
Feel the sting of the final blow

  B                           C#m
What could've been, you don't care or know

 E                 A
Don't try to go another round

 B    E
Stay down
