JESSE MALIN – DOWNLINER

(F#F#) That’s the way you know the (BB) story goes
(D#mD#m) Between euphoria and the (C#C#) afterglow
(F#F#) I don’t believe in what the (BB) good book says
(D#mD#m) I close my eyes and then I (C#C#) go to bed

With riff – F#F# BB D#mD#m C#C#

(F#F#) With funny memories and a (BB) broken nose
(D#mD#m) Lots of baggage and (C#C#) not much clothes
(F#F#) The shrink the gypsy the (BB) poet the priest
(D#mD#m) Everybody wants to (C#C#) be released

And I (BB) know time was gonna (C#C#) change us
So (BB) slow life would (C#C#) rearrange us

Lately it’s (F#F#) all– (BB) -right
(C#C#) Down here with (BB) me
People at (F#F#) mid- (BB) -night (C#C#) pretend they’re (BB) free
Maybe it’s (F#F#) all (BB) gone
(C#C#) I’m holding (BB) on

(D#mD#m) Ooh it ain’t so (BB) funny after (C#C#) all
(D#mD#m) Ooh it ain’t so (BB) funny after (C#C#) all we’ve been (BB) through
(D#mD#m) Ooh it ain’t so (BB) funny after (C#C#) all

With riff – F#F# BB D#mD#m C#C#

That’s the way you know the story goes
A augmentedA box of flowers decompose
And you and me know we don’t talk much
It’s hard to handle something you can’t touch

And I know time was gonna change us
So slow life would rearrange us

(Chorus)

(F#F#) How was I to (BB) know
The (C#C#) future black as (BB) coal?
(F#F#) How was I to (BB) see if (C#C#) you were still with (BB) me?

(F#F#) (BB) (F#F#) (BB)

(F#F#) Downliner (BB)
(C#C#) Down to the (BB) sea
(F#F#) Downliner (BB)
(C#C#) Down here with (BB) me

(F#F#) Downliner (BB) (repeat)
