Down To Zero chords

Capo 1

A D A

F#m E A

A F#m

Oh, the feeling, when you're reeling;

you step lightly thinking you're number one

A F#m E

Down to zero with a word, leaving, for another one

F#m E A

Now you won't put you're feet back on the ground;

F#m E D A D

Down to the ground, down to the ground

F#m E D A D A

Down to the ground, down to the ground

A F#m

Brand new dandy, first class scene stealer;

walks through the crowd and takes your man

Sends you rushing to the mirror,

F#m A

brush your eyebrows and say,

E F#m

there's more beauty in you than anyone

F#m E A

Oh, remember who walked the warm sand beside you;

F#m E A

moored to your heel let the waves come rushing in

F#m E F#m

She took the worry from your head;

but then again,

F#m E F#m

she put trouble in your heart instead,

and you fall;

F#m E D A

down to the ground, down to the ground

You'll know heartache,

E7 F#m A E

Still more crying, when you're thinking of your mother's only son

Take to your bed,

you say there's peace in sleep,

F#m A E

but you dream of love instead

A F#m D

Oh, the heartache you'll find,

F#m A E

Can bring more pain than a blistering sun

F#m D A F#m

But oh when you fall;

D A

oh when you fall,

F#m D E A

fall at my door

F#m E D

F#m E A

F#m E D F#m

A F#m

Oh, the feeling, when you're reeling;

you step lightly thinking you're number one

A F#m E

Down to zero with a word, leaving, for another one

F#m E A

Now you won't put you're feet back on the ground;

F#m E D A D

Down to the ground, down to the ground

F#m E D A D A

Down to the ground, down to the ground

You'll know heartache,

E7 F#m A E

Still more crying, when you're thinking of your mother's only son

Take to your bed,

you say there's peace in sleep,

F#m A E

but you dream of love instead

F#m D A F#m

But oh when you fall

D A

oh when you fall,

F#m D E A

fall at my door
