capo: 4th fret

[intro]

Am Em C F

[verse (1)]

Am Em G
This night is cold in the kingdom
F Am
I can feel you fade away
Em G
From the kitchen to the bathroom sink and
F
Your steps keep me awake

[pre-chorus]

Am
Don’t cut me down, throw me out
Em
Leave me here to waste
G F
I once was a man with dignity and grace
Am
Now i’m slipping through the cracks
Em
Of your cold embrace
G F
So please, please

[chorus]

Am Em
Could you find a way to let me down slowly?
G F
A little sympathy, i hope you can show me
Am Em
If you wanna go then i’ll be so lonely
G F
If you’re leaving baby let me down slowly

Am
Let me down, down
Em
Let me down, down

Let me down, let me down
G F
Down, let me down, down, let me down
Am Em
If you wanna go then i’ll be so lonely
G F
If you’re leaving baby let me down slowly

[verse (2)]

Am Em G
Cold skin, drag my feet on the tile
F Am
As i’m walking down the corridor
Em G
And i know we haven’t talked in a while
F
So i’m looking for an open door

[pre-chorus]

Am Em
Don’t cut me down, throw me out, leave me here to waste
G F
I once was a man with dignity and grace
Am Em
Now i’m slipping through the cracks of your cold embrace
G F
So please, please

[chorus]

Am Em
Could you find a way to let me down slowly?
G F
A little sympathy, i hope you can show me
Am Em
If you wanna go then i’ll be so lonely
G F
If you’re leaving baby let me down slowly

Am
Let me down, down
Em
Let me down, down, let me down, let me down
G F
Down, let me down, down

Let me down
Am Em
If you wanna go then i’ll be so lonely
G F
If you’re leaving baby let me down slowly

[bridge]

Am Em
And i can’t stop myself from falling down
G F
And i can’t stop myself from falling down
Am Em
And i can’t stop myself from falling down
G F
And i can’t stop myself from falling down

[chorus]

Am Em
Could you find a way to let me down slowly?
G F
A little sympathy, i hope you can show me
Am Em
If you wanna go then i’ll be so lonely
G F
If you’re leaving baby let me down slowly

Am
Let me down, down
Em
Let me down, down, let me down, let me down
G F
Down, let me down, down

Let me down
Am Em
If you wanna go then i’ll be so lonely
G F
If you’re leaving baby let me down slowly

Am Em
If you wanna go then i’ll be so lonely
G F
If you’re leaving baby let me down slowly
