[Verse 1]
            D                         G
Well, I was born inside a fire on the coattails of desire
      D                            A
I was orphaned in the flood, I was taken for a liar
               D                               G             E
My dreams came crashin' to the ground, I was defeated by the sound
        D             A             D     A     G
They go down, they go down, they go down, down, down
        D             A            |D     A |
They go down, they go down, they go down

[Verse 2]
              D                          G
Well, I was denied and I was sold, I was kept out in the cold
                D                        A
Well, there was never any doubt that I believed what I was told
            D                                 G             E
But all the time that I was lookin' there was nothin' to be found
        D             A             D     A     G
They go down, they go down, they go down, down, down
        D             A            |D     A |
They go down, they go down, they go down

[Verse 3]
              D                               G
Well, I never knew a single friend who didn't crumble in the end
         D                             A
I made a bargain for control, I didn't break, I didn't bend
           D                                    G              E
With every weapon that they found they tried to send me to the ground
        D             A             D     A     G
They go down, they go down, they go down, down, down
        D             A            |D     A |
They go down, they go down, they go down

[Verse 4]
              D                           G
Well, I was invincible and weird, I was ignored and I was feared
        D                                  A
I stood all that I could stand until their faces disappeared
          D                          G            E
But I was only half alive, there was no one else around
        D             A             D     A     G
They go down, they go down, they go down, down, down
        D             A            |D    |
They go down, they go down, they go down

[Bridge]
  A                              Bm
I never cracked a smile, took my service all in town
A                         Bm
Even when I swam to glory I was sure to drown
D                       A     Bm                      A
Break it off of my breakdown, break it off of my breakdown
D                       A     Bm                      A
Break it off of my breakdown, break it off of my breakdown
G
Lookatmenow, lookatmenow, lookatmenow, lookatmenow
A
Lookatmenow, lookatmenow, lookatmenow, lookatmenow
G
Lookatmenow, lookatmenow, lookatmenow, lookatmenow
A            B
Lookatmenow, lookatmenow

[Verse 5]
              E                       A
Well, I was incurable and vain, a lunatic out in the rain
      E                             B
I was beautiful and unctious, I was shackled to the chain
          E
And I was screened 'til they agreed
          A                  B
That only half the world was round

    They go down, they go down, they go down, down, down
            E             B             E     B     A    :||
    They go down, they go down, they go down, down, down
||: E                       B
    Down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down,
    E           B           A    :||
    Down, down, down, down, down
E                       B
Down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down,
E           B           A
Down, down, down, down, down
        E             A             E
They go down, they go down, they go down
