[F#m] [Bm]
I've been laying low, [G] [A] living [Bm] in the shadows, spending [Em]
time alone.
Conversations [Bm] with the one hanging on.
[G]
[A] I'm just [Bm] trying to matter, and I [G] remain, [Em] [G] trying to make [A] some sense [Bm] of it all.
[G] I've been dead [A] before, I'm familiar [Bm] with the pain.
[G] But I ain't running [A] no more, that's one [F#] real change.
I ain't [E] going down [Bm] this time, [G] this [A] time I ain't [Bm] going down.
Like a mundertoe, [G] I [A] feel the promise [Bm] of the night time.
But I've [Em] been down that road, and my search came [Bm] to an end.
I hit the mother load, [G] [A] enough blues [Bm] for a lifetime.
And I'm [Em] digging deep inside, [G] trying to [A] find my way [Bm] back again.
[G]
You know [A] you've entered the danger [Bm] zone.
[G]
When you look [A] in the eyes, there's no [F#] going home.
I ain't [E] going down [Bm] this time,
[G] this [A] time I ain't [Bm] going down.

[A] [Bm]
It's the evening of the night, [G]
[A] and I miss a [Bm] warmest touch.
The fire [Em] burns strong, and I'm drawn to [Bm] the flame.
But I pay the price, [G] and I [A] get caught up [Bm] in the heartbeat.
Impassioned fools, [G] [A] and [Bm] priests.
[G]
No one left [A] to blame, I'm faced [Bm] with the truth.
Oh yeah, [G]
and it's all [A] to blame, when there's nothing [F#] left to lose.
I ain't [Bm] going down this [G] [A] time, I ain't [Bm] going down.
