Ain't Going Down This Time chords by Tony Joe White

Bm                        G    A                Bm
I   been  layin  low  -  livin  in  the  shadows
            Em7                                      Bm
Spendin  time  alone  -  conversations  with  the  wall

Hangin  on
G          A          Bm
I  just  tryin  to  matter
          Em7   G                         A            Bm
And  I  remain,  tryin  to  make  some  sense  of  it  all


G                   A                                  Bm
I   been  here   before,  I  familiar  with  the  pain
G                            A                          F#7
But  I  ain  runnin  no  more,  there  one  thing  changed  (-stop-)
              Em             Bm
Ain  goin  down  this  time,
G              A               Bm
This  time  I  ain  goin down

Bm                        G          A                 Bm
Like  an  undertow  -  I  feel  the  promis  of  the  nighttime
                  Em7                                                 Bm
But   I  been  down  that  road  -  and  my search  came  to  an  end

I  hit  the  motherload
G       A               Bm
Enough  blues  for  a  lifetime
                   Em7            G                     A            Bm
Now  I  digging  deep  inside,  tryin  to  find  my  way  back  again

G                  A                     Bm
You  know  you  entered  the  danger  zone
G                         A                           F#7
When  you  look  in  the  eyes  and  there  no  one home  (-stop-)
              Em             Bm
Ain  goin  down  this  time,
G              A               Bm
This  time  I  ain  goin down

Bm                    G   A                    Bm
Deep  in  the  night  -  I  miss  a  woman  touch
                  Em7                                  Bm
The  fire  burns  strong  -  and  I  drawn  to the  flame

But  I  pay  the  price
G              A                    Bm
When  I   get  caught  up  in  the  heartbeat
               Em7   G   A          Bm
And   passion  flows  -  un-res-trained

G                    A                                Bm
No  one   left  to   blame  -  I  faced  with  the  truth
G                     A                                          F#7
And  it  all  too  plain  -  when  there  nothing  left  to  lose (-stop-)
              Em             Bm
Ain  goin  down  this  time,
G              A               Bm
This  time  I  ain  goin down
