JESSE MALIN – DOWNLINER

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

With riff – F# B D#m C#

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

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

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

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

With riff – F# B D#m C#

That’s the way you know the story goes
A 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#) How was I to (B) know
The (C#) future black as (B) coal?
(F#) How was I to (B) see if (C#) you were still with (B) me?

(F#) (B) (F#) (B)

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

(F#) Downliner (B) (repeat)
