When I Go Down - Relient K Tabbed by aaroncutter No Capo. [Intro] C#m A C#m E [Verse 1]

^C#mI'll tell you flat out ^A It hurts so much to think of this ^C#m So from my ^Athoughts I will exclude ^C#mThe very thing that ^A I hate more than everything is ^C#m The way I'm ^Apowerless To dictate my own moods ^F#m

[Pre-Chorus]

^F#mI've thrown a^Gway So ^F#mmany things that c^Gould've been much more ^F#mAnd I ju^Gst pray My p^F#mroblems go aw^Gay if they're ig^Enored But that's not the way it w^Gorks No that's n^Aot the way it works

[Chorus]

^DWhen I go down ^BmI go down hard ^GAnd I take everything I've l^Aearned

And teach myself some disregard

^DWhen I go down ^BmIt hurts to hit the bottom ^GAnd of the things that got me there I think^Asus4, if only I had fo^Aught them

C#m A C#m E [Verse 2]

^C#mIf and when I can ^A Clear myself of this clouded mind ^C#m I'll watch m^Ayself settle down ^C#mInto a place where ^A Peace can search me out and find ^C#m That I'm so r^Aeady to be found

[Pre-Chorus]

^F#mI've thrown a^Gway ^F#mThe hope I ^Ghad in friendship ^F#mI've thrown a^Gway So ^F#mmany things that c^Gould've been much more ^F#mI've thrown a^Gway The se^F#mcret to find an e^Gnd to this ^F#mAnd I ju^Gst pray My p^F#mroblems go aw^Gay if they're ig^Enored But that's not the way it w^Gorks No that's n^Aot the way it works

[Chorus]

^DWhen I go down ^BmI go down hard ^GAnd I take everything I've l^Aearned

And teach myself some disregard

^DWhen I go down ^BmIt hurts to hit the bottom ^GAnd of the things that got me there I think^Asus4, if only I had fo^Aught them

[Bridge]

^BmAny cont^Arol I thought I h^Gad just slips right th^D/F#rough my hands ^Asus4 While my e^Aver-present co^Gnscience shakes its head and r^D/F#eprimands^Em me Repri^Asus4mands me ^A

Then and t^Dhere I ^Gconfess ^DI'll blame all this on my selfishn^Gess Yet you ^Dlove me And that cons^Gumes me And I^D'll stand up again And do so wi^Gllingly

[Instrumental] G D/F# | G D | G Bm | G D [Bridge 2]

You give me h^Gop^D/F#e, and ^Ghope it gives m^De life You ^Gtouch my heavy^Bm heart, and when you ^Gdo you make it l^Dight ^GAs I ex^D/F#hale ^G I hear your voice ^D And I a^Gnswer you,^Bm though I ha^Grdly make a no^Dise

^GAnd from my l^D/F#ips, the wor^Gds I choose to say^D Seem path^Getic^Bm, but it's a f^Gallen man's pr^Daise Because I ^Glove ^Dyou ^Bm ^D Oh God, I ^Glove ^Bmyou ^G ^D

[Instrumental] G D/F# | G D | G Bm | G D (baa-baas galore!) [Bridge 3]

And l^Gife is now worth l^D/F#iving If o^Gnly because of y^Dou And w^Ghen they say that I^Bm'm dead and gone It won't be f^Gurther from the tr^Duth

[Instrumental] D/F# G A Bm D/F# G (x2) [Coda] (piano bit, don't worry about the slashes for guitar!)

^DWhen I go down ^Bm/DI lift my eyes to you ^G/DI won't look very far ^Asus4/DCause you'll be there ^A/D With open ^C#marms ^A To lift me up ^C#magain ^A To lift me up ^F#magain ^G
