verse 1 

N.C. 
I got all night to remember you by, I got a half-packed bag and a wonderin' eye 
N.C.                                            C 
Gonna love you baby till the day I die, don't worry 

          D7 
It's just sometimes people get a little fed up, tired of not drinkin' from the lovin' cup 
  D7                                             G 
Gotta walk on my own like a little bitty pup and hurry 

G 
Yeah, it seem like every time I give my heart, a couple good years and the bullshit starts 
                                          C 
I did my best honey, played my part, it's over 

        D7 
Now I'm sittin' cross-legged in a heartache tree, knowin' damn well you ain't a' thinking about me 
                                         G 
Just a sad reminder of a used to be, I'm gone 

          C     C/B   Am    Am/G  D  
And we go down, down, down, down, down 
C    C/B  Am   D/F# G 
Love just left this town 

verse 2 

G 
If I had a dream, I guess I sold it, if I had a secret, Lord, I told it 
                                           C 
This here hand I never thought I'd fold it darlin' 

        D7 
Well, I paid my dues and I served my time, we had a good time but we never could rhyme 
                                            G 
Put up a buck just to get back a dime, it's gone 

G 
I remember a time when the mood was right, and you'd say go and we'd go all night 
                                                     C 
Now's it a bitch, and moan, and fuss, and fight, I'm tired babe 

         D7 
If you're ever in trouble, honey, I'll be there, but I'd rather be one than a mournful pair 
                                           G 
The blind can see that you don't care, I'm gone 

         C     C/B   Am    Am/G  D  
And we go down, down, down, down, down 
C    C/B  Am   D/F# G 
Love just left this town 

solo 

spoken                               
Oh, what have I done?...... 
G 
I can't believe these things I said 

I let a couple of bad years go to my head 
                                            G 
Without your love, I'd be old and dead, I'm sorry 

     D7 
It's getting hard to handle that lonesome sound, it's goodbye trouble, I'm homeward bound 
                                                     G 
You're the only good thing this old boy's found, I'm home 

Final Chorus 

         C     C/B   Am    Am/G  D  
And we go down, down, down, down, down    
C    C/B Am  D/F# G                       
Love is  back in  town 

         C     C/B   Am    Am/G  D  
And we go down, down, down, down, down    
    C   C/B   Am    D/F# G 
The one good  thing  I   found
