DI was only going Gadd9out to get some Dair
I was only going Gadd9out to get back Din
By the time I saw the Gadd9city lights fade Dout
In the back seat of youGadd9r car, that's when DI found
Now I wish it didn't bother me no more
All the things that made me dark for such a time
And I sell my heart to make it all turn right
I could run from it, but it always catches up
And I'm Galways sad there's something in the way
And I Dmoved to like myself for what I do
Would you Emlisten if I told you I was wrong?
Would you take it Bmback, would you take it bAack?
Yeah, I uGsed to make these songs easily
But thiDngs have turned so different from now
Cause I'm Emalways sad and I always turn you down
Don't take me dBmown, don't take me dAown
Have I told you about the titans in my dreams?
'Bout the large ships that are floating next to me?
And I dreamt my bed was lying in the port
And the white water propulsion next to me
Yeah, I used to make these songs easily
But things have turned so different from now
Cause I'm always sad and I always turn you down
Don't take me down, don't take me down
I got a fever when I tried to get along
And I really don't think that I'm OK
Cause I'm always sad and I always miss the boat
Don't take it back, don't take me down
(Whistles)
De-de-da-de-da-de-da-de-da

I was only going out to get some air

Gadd9 D

I was only going out to get back in

Gadd9 D

By the time I saw the city lights fade out

Gadd9 D

In the back seat of your car, that's when I found

Now I wish it didn't bother me no more

All the things that made me dark for such a time

And I sell my heart to make it all turn right

I could run from it, but it always catches up

And I'm always sad there's something in the way

And I moved to like myself for what I do

Would you listen if I told you I was wrong?

Bm A

Would you take it back, would you take it back?

Yeah, I used to make these songs easily

But things have turned so different from now

Cause I'm always sad and I always turn you down

Bm A

Don't take me down, don't take me down

Have I told you about the titans in my dreams?

'Bout the large ships that are floating next to me?

And I dreamt my bed was lying in the port

And the white water propulsion next to me

Yeah, I used to make these songs easily

But things have turned so different from now

Cause I'm always sad and I always turn you down

Don't take me down, don't take me down

I got a fever when I tried to get along

And I really don't think that I'm OK

Cause I'm always sad and I always miss the boat

Don't take it back, don't take me down
