[Intro]

G  C


[Verse 1]

G
I know you, I need you
                          C
I had you, did I let you down?
G
You come and you go
                        C
I wait but never really know, mhm did I ever know?


[Pre-chorus]
             G
Don't let me down
                 C
Don't you let me down


[Chorus]
A      G   A                 G
On and on, even the good die young
F#m    G     F#m                   G
Heavy hands, scupper the best laid plans
A      G   A                G 
On and on, ever the foolish one
    C                                                        
Who says what he wants but he wants what he can't understand


[Instrumental]

G  C


[Verse 2]

G
Unfolding, strung out
                               C
I'm holding on, you're holding out (mhmm)
G
Don't kiss me, don't lie 
                             C 
You ask for freedom then you cry, oh did I ever lie?


[Pre-chorus]
             G
Don't let me down
                 C
Don't you let me down


[Chorus]

A      G   A                 G       
On and on, even the good die young
F#m    G     F#m                   G   
Heavy hands, scupper the best laid plans
A      G   A                G
On and on, ever the foolish one
C
Who says what he wants but he wants what he can't understand

G

Don't let me down.

Don't let me down,
N.C.
Don't you let me down.
N.C.
Don't let me down,
N.C.
Don't let me down.
