Standard (EADGBE)

::Verse #1::

There’s a fork in the road, but you never take it

Always go the same way home

It’s 6 o’clock so you’re medicated

Easy when you’re living alone

and all the girls who come and go

They whisper in your ear “oh baby you know”

“Oh baby you know”

::Verse #2::

This town’s got a crooked grin

You know it’s got a cold, cold heart

Came here thinking it was yours to win

But you’re dead before you even start

And all the friends who understood you

Smile and shake your hand saying “really we should”

“Really we should”

::Pre-Chorus::

And you dream, dream of better days

And it seems they’re moving far away

But you can’t ever stop

You keep climbing for the top

Till the wind comes and blows you away

::Chorus::

You’re gonna watch yourself go down

You’re gonna watch yourself go down

You’re gonna watch yourself go down

Down, down, down

::Trumpet Solo::

::Organ Solo::

::Verse #3

When you were a kid the world was waiting

You were everybody’s favourite son

But now you wake up in a room where the light is fading

I think you’re finally catching on

And all the days they fly just like

People in your life who’re passing you by

Oh, Passing you by

::Pre-Chorus::

And you dream, dream of better days

And it seems they’re moving far away

But you can’t ever stop

You keep climbing for the top

Till the wind comes and blows you away

::Chorus::

You’re gonna watch yourself go down

You’re gonna watch yourself go down

You’re gonna watch yourself go down

Down, down, down

::Synth Solo::

::Guitar Solo::

::Trumpet Solo::

::Interlude::

::Outro::

You’re gonna watch yourself go down

You’re gonna watch yourself go down

You’re gonna watch yourself go down
