[Intro]
C#m A C#m E
[Verse 1]
C#m A I'll tell you flat out C#m It hurts so much to think of this A So from my thoughts I will exclude C#m A The very thing that C#m I hate more than everything is A The way I'm powerless F#m To dictate my own moods
[Pre-Chorus]
F#m G I've thrown away F#m G So many things that could've been much more F#m G And I just pray F#m G E My problems go away if they're ignored G But that's not the way it works A No that's not the way it works
[Chorus]
D When I go down Bm I go down hard G A And I take everything I've learned
And teach myself some disregard
D When I go down Bm It hurts to hit the bottom G And of the things that got me there Asus4 A I think, if only I had fought them
C#m A C#m E
[Verse 2]
C#m A If and when I can C#m Clear myself of this clouded mind A I'll watch myself settle down C#m A Into a place where C#m Peace can search me out and find A That I'm so ready to be found
[Pre-Chorus]
F#m G I've thrown away F#m G The hope I had in friendship F#m G I've thrown away F#m G So many things that could've been much more F#m G I've thrown away F#m G The secret to find an end to this F#m G And I just pray F#m G E My problems go away if they're ignored G But that's not the way it works A No that's not the way it works
[Chorus]
D When I go down Bm I go down hard G A And I take everything I've learned
And teach myself some disregard
D When I go down Bm It hurts to hit the bottom G And of the things that got me there Asus4 A I think, if only I had fought them
[Bridge]
Bm A G D/F# Asus4 Any control I thought I had just slips right through my hands A G D/F# Em While my ever-present conscience shakes its head and reprimands me Asus4 A Reprimands me D Then and there G I confess D G I'll blame all this on my selfishness D Yet you love me G And that consumes me D And I'll stand up again G And do so willingly
[Instrumental]
G D/F# | G D | G Bm | G D
[Bridge 2]
G D/F# G D You give me hope, and hope it gives me life G Bm G D You touch my heavy heart, and when you do you make it light G D/F# G D As I exhale I hear your voice G Bm G D And I answer you, though I hardly make a noise G D/F# G D And from my lips, the words I choose to say G Bm G D Seem pathetic, but it's a fallen man's praise G D Bm D Because I love you G Bm G D Oh God, I love you
[Instrumental]
G D/F# | G D | G Bm | G D (baa-baas galore!)
[Bridge 3]
G D/F# And life is now worth living G D If only because of you G Bm And when they say that I'm dead and gone G D It won't be further from the truth
[Instrumental]
D/F# G A Bm D/F# G (x2)
[Coda]
(piano bit, don't worry about the slashes for guitar!)
D When I go down Bm/D I lift my eyes to you G/D I won't look very far Asus4/D A/D Cause you'll be there C#m A With open arms C#m A To lift me up again F#m G To lift me up again
