Capo on 2:
Verse 1:
[D]I'll tell you flat out[G]
It hurts so much to think of this[Bm]
So from my [Asus4]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]I've thrown a[F]way
So [C]many things that [F]could've been much more
[C]And I just[F] pray
My [C]problems go [F]away if they're [D]ignored
But that's not the way it [F]works
No that's [G]not the way it w[C]orks
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]Any con[G]trol I thought I [F]had just slips right through my [C]hands
While my ever[G]-present [F]conscience shakes its head and repr[C]imands me
Repr[G]imands me
Then and [C]there
I [F]confess
[C]I'll blame all this on my selfish[F]ness
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
