capo on 2 :
verse 1 :
D G
i’ll tell you flat out
Bm
it hurts so much to think of this
Asus4
so from my thoughts i will exclude
the very thing that
i hate more than everything is
the way i’m powerless
to dictate my own moods
verse 2 :
C F
i’ve thrown away
C F
so many things that could’ve been much more
C F
and i just pray
C F D
my problems go away if they’re ignored
F
but that’s not the way it works
G C
no that’s not the way it works
chorus :
C
when i go down
F
i go down hard
Am
and i take everything i’ve learned
G
and teach myself some disregard
when i go down
it hurts to hit the bottom
and of the things that got me there
i think , if only i had fought them
verse 3 :
if and when i can
clear myself of this clouded mind
i’ll watch myself settle down
into a place where
peace can search me out and find
that i’m so ready to be found
verse 4 :
i’ve thrown away
the hope i had in friendships
i’ve thrown away
so many things that could have been much more
i’ve thrown away
the secret to find an end to this
and i just pray
my problems go away if they’re ignored
but that’s not the way it works
no that’s not the way it works
bridge :
C G F C
any control i thought i had just slips right through my hands
G F C
while my ever – present conscience shakes its head and reprimands me
G
reprimands me
C
then and there
F
i confess
C F
i’ll blame all this on my selfishness
yet you love me
and that consumes me
and i’ll stand up again
and do so willingly
bridge 2 :
F C F C . . . .
you give me hope , and hope it gives me life
you touch my heavy heart , and when you do you make it light
as i exhale i hear your voice
and i answer you , though i hardly make a noise
and from my lips the words i choose to say
seem pathetic , but it’s fallen man’s praise
because i love you
oh god , i love you
and life is now worth living
if only because of you
and when they say that i’m dead and gone
it won’t be further from the truth
coda :
when i go down
i lift my eyes to you
i won’t look very far
cause you’ll be there
with open arms
to lift me up again
to lift me up again
