[Verse 1]
Gm C7 Am7 Dm7
I always try to make it right
Gm Cadd2 F
But I keep coming short
Gm7 Cadd2 Am7 Dm7
Can’t seem to see why change is fine
Gm7 Cadd2 F
When change crushes my hope
[Pre-Chorus]
Gm C Am Dm7
My ten toes up turned six feet down and about
Gm7 C F
To tear up the heart that told me not to doubt
Gm C Am7 Dm7
In myself and in faith, every word is in vain
Gm7 C F
And I can’t seem to figure out
[Chorus]
Gm C
Why am I still working
Am7 Dm7 Gm C
If it’s just choking away my light?
F Gm
Why do I still fight for my dreams?
C Am7 Dm7
When all that I’ve seen is dwindling
Gm C F
Down, down, down
[Verse 2]
Gm7 Cadd2 Am7 Dm7 Gm7 Cadd2 F
The ones that I’d expect to try and understand me don’t
Gm7 C Am7 Dm7
Know I could be better off worse in the end
Gm7 C F
Than unhappy in what they want
[Pre-Chorus]
Gm C Am Dm7
But my ten toes up turned six feet down and about
Gm7 Cadd2 F
To tear up the heart that told me not to doubt
Gm C Am7 Dm7
In myself and in faith, every word is in vain
Gm7 C F
And I can’t seem to figure out
[Chorus]
Gm C
Why am I still working
Am7 Dm7 Gm C
If it’s just choking away my light?
F Gm
Why do I still fight for my dreams?
C Am7 Dm7
When all that I’ve seen is dwindling
Gm C F
Down, down, down
[Bridge]
Gm C Am7 Dm7 Gm C F
Gm C Am7 Dm7 Gm C F
Gm C Dm7
But what if I can’t avoid that life?
Gm7 C F Gbdim
Every second it keeps creeping closer, closer
Gm7 C Am7
What if I can’t keep all I’ve tried?
Dm7 Gm7 C F
I’m going down, down, down
[Chorus]
Gm C
Why am I still working
Am7 Dm7 Gm C
If it’s just choking away my light?
F Gm
Why do I still fight for my dreams?
C Am7 Dm7
When all that I’ve seen is dwindling
Gm C F
Down, down, down
Gm C
Why am I still working
Am7 Dm7 Gm C
If it’s just choking away my light?
F N.C. Gm
Why do I still fight for my dreams?
C Am7 Dm7
When all that I’ve seen is dwindling
Gm C7 F
Down, down, down
