  From "Three"(2009)
[Verse]
LDying on the floor and stGaring at the ceDiling,
oGoh,bDaby, you Asus4let me dAown.
CrDying to myself and trGying to shake this fDeeling,
oGoh bDaby, you Asus4let me dDown.
[Chorus]
You lGet me down eDasy, you lGet me down lDight,
it reGally gets me down, but you lAsus4et me down rAight.
You sGet me down gG/F#entle, you lEmet me down slBmow,
it's gGonna take some tG/F#ime before Asus4I can lAet you Dgo.Dsus4  
[Verse]
FlDoating on the ceiling, stGaring at the flDoor,
loGoking from abDove at Asus4what we had befAore.
I could hDear your motor humming, I wGanted you to stDay,
but GI could see it cDoming from a hAsus4undred miles awDay. 
[Verse]
LDying in the grass, stGaring at the sDun,
bGurning out the mDemory thAat you were the oDne.
TDrying to pretend that I dGidn't feel a thDing,
bDut it's feGeling as famDiliar as the sAimple song I sDing. 
[Chorus]
You lGet me down eDasy, you lGet me down lDight,
it reGally gets me down, but you lAsus4et me down rAight.
You sGet me down gG/F#entle, you lEmet me down slBmow,
it's gGonna take some tG/F#ime before Asus4I can lAet you Dgo.Dsus4  
[middle eight]
You sBmet me down proper, you said the right things.
The sEmun was coming up, they were waiting in the wings
The sBmun was going down, you were packing up your clEothes,
You said,"I hGate to let you dG/F#own but,bAabe,I gotta gDo!Dsus4  
[Verse]
LDying in the back seat, eGyes shut tDight,
tDired of stGaring at the rDoad so I'm stAopping for the nDight.
I can hDear your motor humming so I'm cGovering some grDound,
oGoh, bDaby, you lAet me dDown, oGoh, bDaby, you lAet me dDown.
