When I Go Down Relient K
No Capo.
[Verse 1]
[C#m]I'll tell you flat out[A]
It hurts so much to think of this[C#m]
So from my [A]thoughts I will exclude
[C#m]The very thing that[A]
I hate more than everything is[C#m]
The way I'm [A]powerless
To dictate my own moods[F#m]
[Pre-Cborus]
[F#m]I've thrown a[G]way
So [F#m]many things that c[G]ould've been much more
[F#m]And I ju[G]st pray
My p[F#m]roblems go aw[G]ay if they're ig[E]nored
But that's not the way it w[G]orks
No that's n[A]ot the way it works
[Cborus]
[D]When I go down
[Bm]I go down hard
[G]And I take everything I've l[A]earned
And teach myself some disregard
[D]When I go down
[Bm]It hurts to hit the bottom
[G]And of the things that got me there
I think, if o[A]nly I had fought them
[Verse 2]
[C#m]If and when I can[A]
Clear myself of this clouded mind[C#m]
I'll watch m[A]yself settle down
[C#m]Into a place where[A]
Peace can search me out and find[C#m]
That I'm so r[A]eady to be found
[Pre-Cborus]
[F#m]I've thrown a[G]way
[F#m]The hope I [G]had in friendship
[F#m]I've thrown a[G]way
So [F#m]many things that c[G]ould've been much more
[F#m]I've thrown a[G]way
The se[F#m]cret to find an e[G]nd to this
[F#m]And I ju[G]st pray
My p[F#m]roblems go aw[G]ay if they're ig[E]nored
But that's not the way it w[G]orks
No that's n[A]ot the way it works
[Cborus]
[D]When I go down
[Bm]I go down hard
[G]And I take everything I've l[A]earned
And teach myself some disregard
[D]When I go down
[Bm]It hurts to hit the bottom
[G]And of the things that got me there
I think, if o[A]nly I had fought them
[Bridge]
[Bm]Any cont[A]rol I thought I h[G]ad just slips right th[D/F#]rough my hands[Asus4]
While my e[A]ver-present co[G]nscience shakes its head and r[D/F#]eprimands[Em] me
Repri[Asus4]mands me[A]
Then and t[D]here
I [G]confess
[D]I'll blame all this on my selfishn[G]ess
Yet you [D]love me
And that cons[G]umes me
And I[D]'ll stand up again
And do so wi[G]llingly
[Instrumental]
[G] [D/F#] [G] [D] [G] [Bm] [G] [D]
[Bridge 2]
You give me h[G]op[D/F#]e, and [G]hope it gives m[D]e life
You [G]touch my heavy[Bm] heart, and when you [G]do you make it l[D]ight
[G]As I ex[D]hale[G] I hear your voice[D]
And I a[G]nswer you,[D] though I h[G]ardly make a n[D]oise
[G]And from my l[D]ips the w[G]ords I choose to say[D]
[G]Seem pathetic,[D] but it's [G]fallen man's p[D]raise
Because I [G]love [D/F#]you[Bm] [D]
Oh God, I [G]love [Bm]you[G] [D]
[Instrumental]
G D/F# G D G Bm G D (baa-baas galore!)
[Bridge 3]
And l[G]ife is now worth l[D/F#]iving
If o[G]nly because of y[D]ou
And w[G]hen they say that I[Bm]'m dead and gone
It won't be f[G]urther from the tr[D]uth
[Instrumental]
D/F# G A Bm D/F# G (x2)
[Coda]Â
(piano bit, don't worry about the slashes for guitar!)
[D]When I go down
[Bm/D]I lift my eyes to you
[G/D]I won't look very far
[A/D]Cause you'll be there
With open [C#m]arms[A]
To lift me up [C#m]again[A]
To lift me up [F#m]again [G]
