[E]
[C]
[G] I'm going down, [E] I'm going down.
I'm coming up for every pretty step around you there, and like I said I didn't care,
I forgot to leave a note, and it's the hottest day of flow, I'm soaking wet without a coat,
and I knew I should have taken off my shoes, [A] it's front page [C]
news, [E] going down, going down.
Hep hep, [A] hep hep, [Dm] hep hep, [C] hep hep, [E]
I wish I had another drink, I wouldn't be so hot,
I think I should have taken time to think, besides I got the picture straight, you must have had another date,
I didn't need a second, wait I wish that I could see the way it's shot, I don't want no [C]
[E] going down.
I'm in a shuttle on a twin instead of a nap, I've certainly got my stomach, I can't believe the wires on my legs,
I can't look at the time, I can't believe that day,
[A] [C]
I'm [E]
[C#m]
[E] [C#m]
[E] going [C#m] down, I'm [Em] going down.
[A] [C#m]
[E] I wish I had looked before [C#m] I leave, I didn't know it was so [E] deep, and down so far,
I don't get [C#m] why I haven't touched the bottom yet, [E] if you've ever seen it, forget it [C#m] all,
I'm hungry, sleepy, wet and [E] cold, she told me to forget it [C#m] nice,
I should have taken her [G#m] advice, I only want to [C#m] go on home, I'll gladly leave [E] that girl alone,
what a way to spend the [C#m] night, if I don't die, I'll die in [G] front of you,
I bet you taught me how to [C#m] float, but I can't swim a [E] single note,
you threw me in to teach me [C#m] how, I stayed afloat like a mama [G] cow,
and now I've floated [E] way downstream, I know [C#m] this has to be a [E] dream,
if I wait [C#m] ashore, I'll never, never do this [E]
anymore,
can't you see I'm [C#m] going down, just one more [E] time,
[C#m]
[E] going down, [C#m] going down, [E] I'm going down, [C#m] going down,
[E] back home, back [C#m] home,
[E] going [C#m] down, [E] going down,
[C#m] back home,
[E] back to [C#m] my prison, back to [E] the water, back to [C#m] the river too,
[E] [C#m] [E]
[C#m]
[E] now the sky is getting [A#] light, everything [E] will be alright,
I think I'll find me a [A] godforsaken act, I'm just floating in [E] lazy, oh my god,
I really like that [C#m] town, I think I'll [E] ride the [Gm] river down,
just moving slow and [C#m] floating free, there's a river swinging [E] under me,
waving back to the soaps on [C#m] shore, I should have thought of [Dm] [E] that,
I'm floating on down, I'm [C#m] up off those swinging [E] trees,
I'm [C#m]
[E] [C#m] [E]
[C#m]
[E] [C#m]
[E] [C#m]
[E] [C#m]
[E] [C#m]
[E] [C#m]
[E]
going down, down, down,
[C#m] [N]
