C Em F C
You're in a tailspin running out of your head
You're a fragile flower in its final hour
With no chance to taste the waters
Judge declared, You'll get 15 years
Join the lonely sons and daughters
You're going down baby, baby
You're going down baby, baby
You're in a tailspin running out of your head
You're in a tailspin running out of your head
Smoke and mirrors couldn't hide your tears
Your eyes only betray you
Long trip, you lost your grip
We've all been praying for you
You're going down baby, baby
You're going down baby, baby
You're in a tailspin running out of your head
