Intro: E A B7 (2x)

    E 
I'm down 
    A             B7        E 
I'm down and this town is a nuisance 
          A        B7       E 
It put my backbone all in a ruin 
             A    B7        E 
And with the area code of a truant 
    A             B7         E 
I'm fluent in the hazards of love 

A 
I fed a warrant to a billy goat 
B 
I fixed the spelling on a suicide note 
  C#m 
A get well card from a holy ghost 
     A                        B7 
To a beggar who smells like a rose  

    E 
I'm down 
    A          B7          E 
I'm down and I feel like a loner 
          A          B7     E 
There's a skyscraper city below her 
        A       B7         E 
I wanna feed my heart to a cobra 
       A            B7         E 
'Cause nothing ever happens to me 

A 
Like a blessing disguised as a curse 
B 
Like a sermon that's run out of words 
C#m 
Like a cage that can't keep any birds 
        A                   B7 
I can't keep my arms around you 

    E 
I'm down 

E A B7 x4 

A B C#m 

A B 

    E 
I'm down 
    A             B7        E 
I'm down and this town is a backdrop 
  A         B7     E 
A back road over a roadblock 
       A   B7         E 
With a debutante in a tank-top 
      A           B7        E 
Who's teaching me how to be free 

A 
Like a prayer in a personal ad 
B 
Like a knife in a broken back 
         C#m 
Learn to love what you can't get rid of 
  A                   B7 
Before it gets rid of you 

    E     A B7 
I'm down 
    E     A B7 
I'm down 
    E     A B7 
I'm down 
    E     A B7 
I'm down 

E A B7 E
