I'll tell you flat out
It hurts so much to think of this
So from my thoughts I will exclude
The very thing that
I hate more than everything is
The way I'm powerless
To dictate my own moods

I've thrown away
So many things that could've been much more
And I just pray
My problems go away if they're ignored
But that's not the way it works
No that's not the way it works


Chorus
D
When I go down
Bm7
I go down hard
G
And I take everything I've learned
A
And teach myself some disregard
When I go down
It hurts to hit the bottom
And of the things that got me there
I think, if only I had fought them

Verse
If and when I can
Clear myself of this clouded mind
I'll watch myself settle down
Into a place where
Peace can search me out and find
That I'm so ready to be found

Pre-Chorus
I've thrown away
The hope I had in friendships
I've thrown away
So many things that could have been much more
I've thrown away
The secret to find an end to this
And I just pray
My problems go away if they're ignored
But that's not the way it works
No that's not the way it works

Chorus

Bridge
 Any control   I   thought I had          just slips right through

Aadd11    Dsus2        G5     Dsus2                               G5
Then and there I confess, and I'll blame all this on my selfishness

       Dsus2                    G5
Yet You love me and that consumes me

    Dsus2                              G5
And I'll stand up again and do so will-ing-ly

Gtype2  D/F#  Gtype2  D
Gtype2  Bm  Gtype2  D
              Gtype2  D/F#    Gtype2           D
You give me hope           and hope it gives me life
      Gtype2           Bm                Gtype2            D
You touch my heavy heart     and when You do You make it light
Gtype2  D/F#   Gtype2         D
As I exhale,        I hear Your voice
   Gtype2       Bm          Gtype2         D
And I answer You,  though I hardly make a noise
          Gtype2     D/F#       Gtype2            D              Gtype2
And from my       lips      the words I choose to say seem pathetic
           Gtype2       D
But it's a fallen man's praise
            G   D/F#       Gtype2     D
Cause I love     You
           Gtype2    Bm          Gtype2       D
Oh, God, I love      You
Gtype2  D/F#  Gtype2  D
Gtype2  Bm  Gtype2  D

     Gtype2         D/F#      Gtype2           D
And life is now worth living if only because of You

              Gtype2         Bm
And when they say that I am dead and gone

            Gtype2          D
It won't be further from the truth

Outro:

D5/A  Bm7  G5  Aadd11
When I go down
I lift my eyes to you
I won't look very far
Cause you'll be there
With open arms
To lift me up again
