Capo 2nd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

Why can't you be there for me

A friend is nowhere to be found

I just don't understand why you

Kick me when I'm down

Verse 1

Enter the room maybe too soon

Nobody seems to be through

They were just talking 'bout me

Now the silence is killing me

I made a mistake now it's too late

Everyone just can't wait

Ya just wanna tell a friend

Start the beginning of my end

PRE CHORUS

You must have never fallen short

Always doing the right thing

'Cause if you ain't so perfect then

don't throw another stone at me

Chorus

Why can't you be there for me

A friend is nowhere to be found

I just don't understand why you

Kick me when I'm down

You think it's over now but

I'm gonna turn it all around

Why can't you see that you

Kick me when I'm down

Verse 2

Trying to walk but then I get caught up

Don't know if I have enough

Just stop looking down on me

You're seeing right through my need

Thought I could count on you

As someone to be true

Helping me get through

You coulda reached for me

But your back is all I see

REPEAT CHORUS

PRE CHORUS

You must have never fallen short

Always doing the right thing

'Cause if you ain't so perfect then

don't throw another stone at me

REPEAT CHORUS

Bridge thingy

Why do you kick me when I'm down

I just don't understand when I'm down

Why can't you see me when I'm down

I just don't understand when I'm down

Kickin' me, Kickin me,

Kickin' me, Kickin me,

Kickin' me, Kickin me,

I'm gonna turn it all around
