[Verse 1]
E                                       A7
I met a girl, a snowball in hell
              Am7                  G                                C    D   D#
She was as hard and as cracked as the Liberty Bell
E                                                           A7
I got her to come on and move in with me
          Am7                G                                C5 D5 G5 A5 B5
And I said I'd find a better place we could spend eternity

[Chorus]
               C5        B5           A5
Don't go down, don't go down
D5                  G5 C5 G5 C5 G5 B5
Stay with me, baby stay

[Verse 2]
E                                   A7
Her mama called me a thief
              Am7            G                                  C     D   D#
And her dad called himself commander-in-chief
E                                      A7
I fought him off with my love
         Am7                       G                             C5    D5  G5   A5  B5
But I knew the sense of worthlessness she'd have to rise above

[Chorus]
               C5        B5           A5
Don't go down, Don't go down
D5                  G5 C5 G5 C5 G5 B5
Stay with me, Baby, stay
               C5        B5           A5
Don't go down, Don't go down
D5                   G5 C5 G5 C5 G5 B5
Stay with me, Baby, stay

[Verse 3]
E                                               A7
She had a dream, woke up in shock
              Am7                G                         C
She had seen her own body outlined in chalk
E                                                         A7
I split the scene, the globe had been spun
              Am7                             G                     C5  D5   G5    A5   B5
And her ghost leaned down to kiss me with a message from the sun

[Outro]
               C5       B5            A5
Don't go down, Don't go down
D5                           C5
Stay with me, Baby stay

B5             A5
Don't go down
D5                           C5
Stay with me, Baby stay

B5             A5
Don't go down
D5                             G5
Stay with me, Baby, stay
G5
Stay
