Not Going Down Lyrics



G D

We were born in a dying town

C G

Where deperate souls just hang around

G D C

Waiting for a reason to believe

G D

The young get old and the old they stay

C G

And slowly they just fade away

D C G

But I'm going not down that way no I'm not going down

D C G

Cause I've been the loser desperate to win

D C G

And I've tasted snake oil and I've tasted sin

G D C G

I've stumbled through the darkness on the outskirts of

town

D C G

But I'm going not down that way no I'm not going down

G D

I met a waitress out on 95

C G

She lived her life like throwing dice

G D C

Her habit finally took the best of her

G D

She drew me in day by day

C G

Yea love's a drug that's what they say

D C G

But I'm going not down that way no I'm not going down

D C G

Cause I've been the loser desperate to win

G

And I've tasted snake oil and sin

G D C G

I've stumbled through the darkness on the outskirts of

town

D C G

But I'm going not down that way no I'm not going down

D C G D

Let it go

D C G

Let it go

G D

You flash that shiny golden smile

C G

You say it'll be all right in a while

G D C

But I'm not about to shake your hand

G D

Yes I've made promises I couldn't keep

C G

And I've lost a couple of nights of sleep

D C G

But I'm going not down that way no I'm not going down

D C G

But I'm going not down that way no I'm not going down

D C G

Cause I've been the loser desperate to win

D C G

And I've tasted snake oil and I've tasted sin

G D C G

I've stumbled through the darkness on the outskirts of

town

D C G

But I'm going not down that way no I'm not going down

D C G D

Let it go

D C G

Let it go

D C G D

Let it go

D C G

Let it go

G D C G

I've stumbled through the darkness on the outskirts of

town
