D#dim

Elevator operator

D D#dim E

Look at me and smile a weary smile

You know my face could easily decieve

The wisest of them all

Are you going to the penthouse

D D#dim E

Or the condo that lies just beyond the chapel doors

G A

He just smiled and softly told me no

I'm going to the bottom

[Chorus]

D B7

I'm going all the way down

To the bottom

So turn the music up real high

A D

And let the sweetest benedictine liquor flow

B7 E

No need to worry about tomorrow

Cause you're not here

G A

I'm going all the way down

To the bottom

Rainy streets, Wet memory

D D#dim E

Find a place inside to pass the time

The doug serves up my brandy and I drink

And pray your picture fades

You dressed in black

You turned your back

D#dim E

On the only heart that ever loved you so

G A

The bells rang on the day you died

I'm headin to the bottom

[Chorus]

D B7

I'm going all the way down

To the bottom

So turn the music up real high

A D

And let the sweetest benedictine liquor flow

B7 E

No need to worry about tomorrow

Cause you're not here

G A

I'm going all the way down

To the bottom

[Outro]

G A

I'm going all the way down

G A

I'm going all the way down

G A

I'm going all the way down

To the bottom
