Great song by an amazing band! Show your support by liking or correcting anything! Thanks :) Verse 1:

D                     G
I'll tell you flat out

                                 Bm
It hurts so much to think of this

           Asus4
So from my thoughts I will exclude

The very thing that I hate more than everything is The way I'm powerless To dictate my own moods Verse 2:

C            F
I've thrown away

   C                F
So many things that could've been much more

C         F
And I just pray

   C           F               D
My problems go away if they're ignored

                          F
But that's not the way it works

          G               C
No that's not the way it works

Chorus:

C
When I go down

F
I go down hard

Am
And I take everything I've learned

G
And teach myself some disregard

When I go down It hurts to hit the bottom And of the things that got me there I think, if only I had fought them Verse 3: If and when I can Clear myself of this clouded mind I'll watch myself settle down Into a place where Peace can search me out and find That I'm so ready to be found Verse 4: I've thrown away The hope I had in friendships I've thrown away So many things that could have been much more I've thrown away The secret to find an end to this And I just pray My problems go away if they're ignored But that's not the way it works No that's not the way it works Bridge:

C      G                F                               C
Any control I thought I had just slips right through my hands

             G        F                                  C
While my ever-present conscience shakes its head and reprimands me

    G
Reprimands me

         C
Then and there

  F
I confess

C                                F
I'll blame all this on my selfishness

Yet you love me And that consumes me And I'll stand up again And do so willingly Bridge 2:

            F  C      F                C....
You give me hope, and hope it gives me life

You touch my heavy heart, and when you do you make it light As I exhale I hear your voice And I answer you, though I hardly make a noise And from my lips the words I choose to say Seem pathetic, but it's fallen man's praise Because I love you Oh God, I love you And life is now worth living If only because of you And when they say that I'm dead and gone It won't be further from the truth Coda: When I go down I lift my eyes to you I won't look very far Cause you'll be there With open arms To lift me up again To lift me up again
