Intro Am
Am
Took me down to the river
So I could drown, drown, drown
Looking up through the water
C G/B Am
I kept sinking down, down, down
I feel like I'm dying
I got one foot in the ground
Never knew what love was
F
Until you came around
TIP: In the Chorus, it does work to add in some F or Am chords in the first 4 lines.

You're going down
You're going down, down
You walked all over me
You never thought I'd be
F C
The one who's laughing now
Now that you're going down

Take you down to the basement
You look around-round-round
We sit there in silence

I watched you go down, down, down
I feel like I'm flying
I got my head in the clouds
Never thought I was crazy

Until you came around
Chorus
Dm
You're going down
You're going down, down
You walked all over me
You never thought I'd be
