Dont Go Down

Elliott Smith

 EA7
 I met a girl, a snowball in hell
 Am7GCDD#
She was as hard and as cracked as the Liberty Bell       
 EA7
 I got her to come on and move in with me
 Am7GC5D5G5A5B5
And I said I'd find a better place we could spend eternity
 C5B5A5
Don't go down, don't go down
 D5G5C5G5C5G5B5
 Stay with me, baby staaaaaay   

 EA7
 Her mama called me a thief
 Am7GCDD#
And her dad called himself commander-in-chief      
 EA7
 I fought him off with my love
 Am7GC5D5G5A5B5
But I knew the sense of worthlessness she'd have to rise above
 C5B5A5
Don't go down, Don't go down
 D5G5C5G5C5G5B5
 Stay with me, Baby, staaaaaay    

(Play through verse)

 C5B5A5
Don't go down, Don't go down
 D5G5C5G5C5G5B5
 Stay with me, Baby, staaaaaay    

 EA7
 She had a dream, woke up in shock
 Am7GC
She had seen her own body outlined in chalk
 EA7
 I split the scene, the globe had been spun
 Am7GC5D5G5A5B5
And her ghost leaned down to kiss me with a message from the sun
 C5B5A5
Don't go down, Don't go down
 D5C5
 Stay with me, Baby stay
 B5A5
 Don't go down
 D5C5
 Stay with me, Baby stay
 B5A5
 Don't go down
 D5G5
 Stay with me, Baby, stay
 G5
 Stay
