[Verse 1]
Emaj7I just don't understand, they say love is compromise
G#m7Where does that leave us, when I look in your
F#m7Eyes you seem to care, then you lead me to another place
BIt isn't fair, B7b9all these rules you make
Emaj7I just can't stay around, with all your foolish games
G#m7It's like a miracle, I made it this far, and you
F#m7Say you won't keep fighting, but I know you will
BIt's like a cycle and still, you keep pulling me
[Chorus]
Emaj7Down, down, down, down, down, lower than I've
G#m7ever known...Gm7oh you
F#m7Tease me with a smile, then you leave me
BAll alone
[Verse 2]
Emaj7I still wish things were good, just like they use to be
G#m7Two friends who fell in love, trapped in the mystery, we
F#m7Had so much in common, and we laughed at everything
BThat was long ago, before you went and changed
Emaj7Before we lost control, before we started to fight
G#m7Before you raised your voice, before I left that night, and
F#m7Now I'm left here crying, head up to the sky, trying to
BGet back to the point when we were right...you keep pulling me
[Chorus]
Emaj7Down, down, down, down, down, lower than I've
G#m7ever known.Gm7..oh you
F#m7Tease me with a smile, then you leave me
Ball alone
Emaj7Like a drop of rain, falling through a
G#m7Passing wind...you keep pulling me
F#m7Down, down, down, down, down, can we get back
BUp again?
[Bridge]
Bm7Just one...E9one glimpse of
Amaj7Happiness...and I won't
Gmaj7Have to guess, if love has
B7Won...you keep pulling me (down)
[Interlude]
Emaj7     G#m7     F#m7     B
[Chorus]
Emaj7Like a drop of rain, falling through a
G#m7Passing wind...you keep pulling me
F#m7Down, down, down, down, down, can we get back
BUp again?
