Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

Note: I think the strum pattern here is: V V V^V | ^ ^V^ ^V^

Hence, for F/E and G, the first strum is an up-strum

Verse 1

And all these distant faded memories of everything I used to be

Are bringing me down; yeah, they're bringing me down

And the leading cause of death I plead is from my insecurity

And it's bringing me down; yeah, it's bringing me down

Chorus

Down........

Down........

Post-chorus:

Note: The strum pattern for the second half is V^ ^ ^V | ^ ^V V^

Verse 2

Yeah, hope is all I really need to wash my selfishness and greed

But there's no hope to be found; no, I've looked all around

And if this life that I've led only leads to tears in bed

Then I won't hang around; no, I won't hang around

Repeat chorus twice

Bridge

Note: Now, one guitar plays the chords below, while the other continues playing the riff

You can play the chords here as power chords, if you wish.

Now I've come to conclusions that I'm empty

I thought I still had everything in me

Repeat verse 1, except last line is:

And it's bringing me down; Down...

End on G
