Long Way Down chords by Diane Alela

Guitar chords with lyrics

This is mostly drawn from the low-key performance here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3AB9xsRzAto.
Another helpful video is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5HFl0D5AHTI.
Please comment if you have some nice variation worked out, or any improvements.
Not positive that the G Major 7th chord is correct, but its what the guitarist in the first video seems
to be doing, and it sounds ok to me. I'm not sure whether she sings "burning" or "hurting" in the chorus.
In the first video it sounds like she sings "hurting" both times, but in the second video it seems like
"burning" in the first chorus, then "hurting" in the second. Any input there is appreciated.

I love this song, and it is really fun to play. Enjoy!

       Bm   G     D              Bm   G    D
When a love grows cold, like the fire come dawn
       Bm  G   D                    Bm      G   D
It is a bitter tune, old homes know through and through

Bm
When is it too soon to walk
A                            G       Gmaj7    Em
When to run dry of talk from burning just the same
Bm
Was it easier in days gone by
A                                 G        Gmaj7     Em
Clear skies and storms alike, and words of ties that bind

     Bm   G  D      Bm   G    D
From time to time, a man must go
           Bm   G   D               Bm   G   D
But let me tell you friend, it is a long way down

Bm
When is it too soon to walk
A                            G       Gmaj7    Em
When to run dry of talk from hurting just the same
Bm
Was it easier in days gone by
A                                 G        Gmaj7     Em
Clear skies and storms alike, and words of ties that bind

         Bm   G  D             Bm     G     D
When the wine is sweet but the love's still true
          Bm   G D             Bm   G  D
It's been done before, you can work it through
