[Intro]
Bm Em Bm A  Bm Em Bm
[Verse]
BmI ‘ve  been  layin’  low  G-  liAvin’  in  the  shBmadows
Spendin’  tiEm7me  alone  -  conversations  with  the  wBmall
Hangin’  on
GI’m  just  Atryin’  to  Bmmatter
And  I  reEm7main,  Gtryin’  to  make  some  sAense  of  it  Bmall
GI ‘ve  been  here   Abefore,  I’m  familiar  with  the  Bmpain
GBut  I  ain’t  runnin’  no  mAore,  there’s  one  thing  F#7changed  (-stop-)
[Chorus]
Ain’t  goin’  Emdown  this  timBme,
GThis  time  I  Aain’t  goin’ dowBmn
[Verse]
BmLike  an  undertow  -  I  Gfeel  the  Apromis  of  the  nBmighttime
But   I’ve  been  Em7down  that  road  -  and  my search  came  to  an  eBmnd
I  hit  the  motherload
GEnough  Ablues  for  a  lBmifetime
Now  I’m  digging  Em7deep  inside,  Gtryin’  to  find  my  Away  back  agBmain
GYou  know  you’ve  Aentered  the  danger  Bmzone
GWhen  you  look  in  the  Aeyes  and  there’s  no  one F#7home  (-stop-)

[Verse]
BmDeep  in  the  night  G-  I  Amiss  a  woman’s  tBmouch
The  fire  burns  Em7strong  -  and  I’m  drawn  to the  fBmlame
But  I  pay  the  price
GWhen  I   get  Acaught  up  in  the  Bmheartbeat
And   passion  Em7flows  G-  Aun-res-traiBmned
GNo  one   left  to   Ablame  -  I’m  faced  with  the  Bmtruth
GAnd  it’s  all  too  pAlain  -  when  there’s  nothing  left  to  F#7lose (-stop-)

Ain’t  goin’  Emdown  this  timBme,
GThis  time  I  Aain’t  goin’ dowBmn

Bm G A Bm

I ‘ve been layin’ low - livin’ in the shadows

Spendin’ time alone - conversations with the wall

Hangin’ on

I’m just tryin’ to matter

And I remain, tryin’ to make some sense of it all

Ain’t goin’ down this time,

This time I ain’t goin’ down

[Verse]

Bm G A Bm

Like an undertow - I feel the promis of the nighttime

But I’ve been down that road - and my search came to an end

I hit the motherload

G A Bm

Enough blues for a lifetime

Em7 G A Bm

Now I’m digging deep inside, tryin’ to find my way back again

You know you’ve entered the danger zone

Deep in the night - I miss a woman’s touch

The fire burns strong - and I’m drawn to the flame

But I pay the price

When I get caught up in the heartbeat

Em7 G A Bm

And passion flows - un-res-trained

G A Bm

No one left to blame - I’m faced with the truth

G A F#7

And it’s all too plain - when there’s nothing left to lose (-stop-)
