verse 1 
        B7     F#m                E                  B 
Up 'til now my lucky stars shined brightest in the sky 
      A             E           B7 
I was living in the lap of the gods 
                            F#m        E                   B7 
But Miss Fortune turned the tables and turned out all the light 
            A            E                   B7 
Now there's no chance in hell I'll beat the odds 


 
          D E        B7 
I'm going down going down 
          D E            B7 
Down down down I'm going down 


verse 2 
        B7    F#m             E                B7 
Up 'til now I never looked at what was in the cards 
       A                E                      B7 
Played fast and loose I didn't, didn't give a damn 
                   F#m                E                  B7 
But a joker who is wild like me can't beat the old graveyard 
        A       E                  B7 
If he's staring   at a dead man's hand 

 
          D E        B7 
I'm going down going down 
          D E            B7 
Down down down I'm going down

verse 3 
        B7        F#m             E                B7 
Up 'til now the thought of losing didn't cross my mind 
        A        E                       B7 
It felt good, so good to gamble with my soul 
                 F#m              E              B7 
But what was I a-thinking why'd I lay it on the line 
     A          E                    B7 
Everybody, everybody one day has to fold 

 
          D E        B7 
I'm going down going down 
          D E            B7 
Down down down I'm going down 
          D E        B7 
I'm going down going down 
            D      E         B7 
I lost this round, I'm going down
