From "Lou Reed" (1972) [Verse]
A                      Asus A
When you're in a dream

                               E
And you think you got your problems all nailed down

A                   Asus A
Pieces of the scheme

                    E
Seem to rattle up and then to rattle down

Amaj7                    Dmaj7
And when you start to fall

             Amaj7                 Dmaj7
And those footsteps they start to fade
[Chorus]
Bm                                        E
Well then you know you're going down (going down)

Bm                                    E
Yeah, you're falling all around (going down)

Bm                                 E   
And you know you're going down (going down)

     D          A
For the last time
[Verse]
A                    Asus  A 
When you're in the air

                              E
And you're thinking you'll drift off into the west

A                          
Your friends polite, advise

   Asus
Hey look you're pushing too hard

E
And perhaps you need a rest

Amaj7                    Dmaj7
And when you start to fall

               Amaj7                  Dmaj7
And all those footsteps they start to fade
[Chorus]
Bm                                        E
Well then you know you're going down (going down)

Bm                                     E
Yeah, you're crashing upside down (going down)

Bm                                   E 
And you know you're going down (going down)

     D               
For the last time...
[Bridge]
Amaj7                    A7
Time's not what it seems

                      D                             Dm
It just seems longer, when you're lonely in this world

Amaj7                  A7
Everything it seems would be brighter

        D                            Dm
If your nights were spent with some girl
[Chorus]
       Bm                            E
Yeah, you're falling all around (going down)

          Bm                          E
Yeah, you're crashing upside down (going down)

        Bm                                 E
Oh, oh, and you know you're going down (going down)

     D            A
For the last time
[Outro] Bm E D A A Bm E A
