DOWN DOWN DOWN

Intro (chorus chords)

(GC) G Em Bm D

First verse:

GCG/EmCD
CD-GC-(Am C D)
Cold metal gate in her backyard
That's where he played his fatal card
And he's been crawling back to her
Ever since that day
He could call
But she's so far away

(Female vox)
Driving to work she plays the part
Smiling hard with a broken heart
And she can't name her enemy
But she's angry just the same
Looking for a way out of the game

(Both) They've got nothing but the past to Blame

(GC) G Em Bm D
All the gratitude that you can't buy
Gonna come again and by and by
We won't be down down down
With all the waiting

All the time we get before we're dead
Turn around now, honey look ahead
Before you're down down down with all the waiting

Verse 3

GCG/EmCD
CD-GC-(Am C D)
(Me)Now we don't sleep like we once did

(Her)A worried world makes a worried kid

(Me) And when she gets to Shangri-La
Takes a room and makes a bid

(Her) Gotta keep her safe

(Me) Wanna keep her hid

(Both) Slamming on the brakes only makes her skid

(GC) G Em Bm D
All the hurt you feel and don't know why
Won't erase the glimmer in her eye
Before you're down down down
With all the waiting

All the time we get before we're dead
Turn around now, honey look ahead
Before we're down down down with all the waiting

Bridge:
CG
Now there's blood in the water

CG
For the lovers, the sisters and the daughters

Am-C-G-D
The best lack all conviction
Cause the witness has gone cold

Am-C-G-D
The worst are full of passion
For a throne that's bought and sold

(GC) G Em Bm D
All the gratitude that you can't buy
Gonna come again and by and by
We won't be down down down
With all the waiting

All the time we get before we're dead
Turn around now, honey look ahead
Before we're down down down with all the waiting
