Capo on 2:
Verse 1:
DI'll tell you flat outG
It hurts so much to think of thisBm
So from my Asus4thoughts I will exclude
The very thing that
I hate more than everything is
The way I'm powerless
To dictate my own moods
Verse 2:
CI've thrown aFway
So Cmany things that Fcould've been much more
CAnd I justF pray
My Cproblems go Faway if they're Dignored
But that's not the way it Fworks
No that's Gnot the way it wCorks
Chorus:
CWhen I go down
FI go down hard
AmAnd I take everything I've learned
GAnd teach myself some disregard
When I go down
It hurts to hit the bottom
And of the things that got me there
I think, if only I had fought them
Verse 3:
If and when I can
Clear myself of this clouded mind
I'll watch myself settle down
Into a place where
Peace can search me out and find
That I'm so ready to be found
Verse 4:
I've thrown away
The hope I had in friendships
I've thrown away
So many things that could have been much more
I've thrown away
The secret to find an end to this
And I just pray
My problems go away if they're ignored
But that's not the way it works
No that's not the way it works
Bridge:
CAny conGtrol I thought I Fhad just slips right through my Chands
While my everG-present Fconscience shakes its head and reprCimands me
ReprGimands me
Then and Cthere
I Fconfess
CI'll blame all this on my selfishFness
Yet you love me
And that consumes me
And I'll stand up again
And do so willingly
Bridge 2:
F C F C....
You give me hope, and hope it gives me life
You touch my heavy heart, and when you do you make it light
As I exhale I hear your voice
And I answer you, though I hardly make a noise
And from my lips the words I choose to say
Seem pathetic, but it's fallen man's praise
Because I love you
Oh God, I love you
And life is now worth living
If only because of you
And when they say that I'm dead and gone
It won't be further from the truth
Coda:
When I go down
I lift my eyes to you
I won't look very far
Cause you'll be there
With open arms
To lift me up again
To lift me up again
