^CI've been downhearted ^Ambabe I've been down, I've ^Fbeen downhearted ^Cbabe Ever since the ^Emday we met, ^Fever since the ^Cday.

^CJan lays down and wrestles in her ^Amsleep ^F ^CMoonlight spills on comic books And ^Emsuperstars in ^Fmagazines An ^Cold friend calls and tells us where to ^Ammeet ^F Her ^Cplane takes off from Baltimore And ^Emtouches down on ^FBourbon street

We ^Csit outside and argue all night ^Amlong ^F ^CAbout a god we've never seen But ^Emnever fails to ^Fside with me ^CSunday comes and all the papers ^Amsay ^F ^CMa Teresa's joined the mob And ^Emhappy with her ^Ffull time job

^CI've been downhearted ^Ambabe I've been down, I've ^Fbeen downhearted ^Cbabe Ever since the ^Emday we met, ^Fever since the ^Cday.

^CAm I alive or thoughts that drift ^Amaway? ^F Does ^Csummer come for everyone? Can ^Emhumans do what ^Fprophets say? ^CIf I die before I learn to ^Amspeak^F ^CCan money pay for all the days I ^Emlived awake But ^Fhalf asleep?

^CA life is time, they teach you growing ^Amup ^F ^CThe seconds ticking killed us all A ^Emmillion years be^Ffore the fall ^CYou ride the waves and don't ask where they ^Amgo ^F ^CYou swim like lions through the crest And ^Embathe yourself in ^Fzebra flesh

^CI've been downhearted ^Ambabe I've been down, I've ^Fbeen downhearted ^Cbabe Ever since the ^Emday we met, ^Fever since the ^Cday.
