Verse 1:
E MajorE              A7A7
I met a girl, a snowball in hell
     Am7Am7      G+G           C majorC   D MajorD  D#D#
She was as hard and as cracked as the Liberty Bell
E MajorE                   A7A7
I got her to come on and move in with me
   Am7Am7        G+G          C5C5 D5D5 G5G5 A5A5 B5B5
And I said I'd find a better place we could spend eternity

Chorus:
     C5C5   B5B5   A5A5
Don't go down, don't go down
D5D5      G5G5 C5C5 G5G5 C5C5 G5G5 B5B5
Stay with me, baby stay

Verse 2:
E MajorE          A7A7
Her mama called me a thief
    Am7Am7    G+G          C majorC   D MajorD  D#D#
And her dad called himself commander-in-chief
E MajorE            A7A7
I fought him off with my love
   Am7Am7        G+G          C5C5 D5D5 G5G5 A5A5 B5B5
But I knew the sense of worthlessness she'd have to rise above

Chorus:
     C5C5  B5B5    A5A5
Don't go down, Don't go down
D5D5       G5G5 C5C5 G5G5 C5C5 G5G5  B5B5

Stay with me, Baby, stay

Verse 3:
E MajorE              A7A7
She had a dream, woke up in shock
    Am7Am7     G+G        C majorC
She had seen her own body outlined in chalk
E MajorE                   A7A7
I split the scene, the globe had been spun
    Am7Am7         G+G       C5C5 D5D5 G5G5  A5A5 B5B5
And her ghost leaned down to kiss me with a message from the sun
