Going down.
HIP [A] HIP HIP [C] HIP HIP HIP
[E] [Em] [E]
I wish I had another drink.
It wouldn't be so hot.
I think you should have taken time to think.
Besides I got the picture straight.
You must have had another date.
I didn't need to sex the way I wished it.
I could see the way it shot.

[A] [C#m] [E]
I wish I had looked before [C#m] I leave.
I didn't know it was [E] so beautiful.
You've been down so far.
Don't get [C#m] me wrong.
I haven't touched the bottom yet.
[E] This river scene is getting [C#m] old.
I'm hungry, sleepy, wet and [E] cold.
She told me to forget it [C#m] nice.
I should have taken her [B] advice.
I only wanted one [C#m] home.
I'd gladly leave that girl [Em] alone.
What a way [C#m] to spend the night.
If I don't drown I'll die [Em] of fright.
My pet bit taught me how [C#m] to float.
But I can't swim a single [E] note.
It threw me in to teach [C#] me how.
I stayed there floating like a mama [G] cow.
And now I've floated [E] way downstream.
No [C#m] this has to be a [E] dream.
If I could wait [C#m] ashore.
I'd never, never do [E] this anymore.
[C#m] I just want more [E] time.
[C#m]
Going [E] down.
[C#m]
[E] Going down.
[C#m] Back
[E] [C#m] home.

Back [C#m]
[E] to my [C#m] friends.
[E] Back to the truth.
[C#m]
[E] [C#m]
[E] [C#m]
[E] Now the sky is getting [C#m] light.
[E] Everything will be alright.
I think I finally [A] got the night.
But just floating it lazy [E] on my back.
I never really liked that [C#m] town.
I think [G#m] I'll ride the river down.
Just moving slow and floating [C#m] free.
There's a river swinging [E] under me.
Waving [A] back to the slopes on [C#m] shore.
I should have thought of [D#] this [E] before.
[C#m] I thought about some [E] swinging scenes.
I'm going down.
