[Intro] C G Em F Am G Em F x2 [Verse 1]
Am           G
 We gather here, we line up

Em                      F
Weeping in a sunlit room

   Am           G     Em                      F
And   if I'm on fire, you'll be made of ashes too

Am                  G
Even on my worst day,  did I deserve babe

Em                   F
  All the hell you gave me
(but)
C               Bm
 This night is cold in the kingdom

G                Am
 I can feel you fade away

C                         Bm
 From the kitchen to the bathroom sink and

G                 Am
 Your steps keep me awake

Am
 'Cause I loved you

G                   Em                     F
 I swear I loved you   'til (your) dying day
[Pre-Chorus]
     C                          Bm
Don't cut me down, throw me out, leave me here to waste

 G                   Am
I once was a man with dignity and grace

       C                                   Bm
Now I'm slipping through the cracks of your cold embrace

  G             Am
So please, please
[Chorus]
         C                         Bm
Could you find a way to let me down slowly?

        G                         Am
A little sympathy, I hope you can show me

      C                        Bm
If you wanna go then I'll be so lonely

         G                         Am
If you're leaving baby let me down slowly

            C
Let me down, down, let me down, down

Bm                        G                        Am
Let me down, let me down, down, let me down, down, let me down

      C                        Bm
If you wanna go then I'll be so lonely

         G                         Am
If you're leaving baby let me down slowly
[Verse 2]
C                    Bm
 Cold skin, drag my feet on the tile

G                         Am
 As I'm walking down the corridor

C                       Bm
 And I know we haven't talked in a while

G                       Am
 So I'm looking for an open door

      Am                   G
 You know I didn't want to   have to haunt you

Em                        F
 But what a ghostly scene

Am                        G                Em             F
 You wear the same jewels  that I gave you  as you bury me
[Chorus]
C    Dm           Am          F                C     Dm
       I didn't have it in myself to go with grace

                Am                 F       C           Dm
'Cause when I'd fight, you used to tell me I   was brave

           Am               F                  C
And if I'm dead to you, why are you at the wake

           Dm               Am
Cursing my name, wishing I stayed

           F
Look at how my tears ricochet
[Instrumental] C Dm Am F [Sort-Of-Chorus]
     C                          Bm
Don't cut me down, throw me out, leave me here to waste

             Dm               Am
Cursing my name, wishing I stayed

                     F
You turned into your worst fears

 G                   Am
I once was a man with dignity and grace

C                          Dm                   Am
 And you're tossing out blame, drunk on this pain,

                 F
Crossing out the good years

       C                                   Bm
Now I'm slipping through the cracks of your cold embrace

  G             Am
So please, please

          C              Dm               Am
And you're    cursing my name, wishing I stayed

           F
Look at how my tears ricochet
