Watch Yourself Go Down

Watch Yourself Go Down - Jim Cuddy



::Intro::

Bm - F#m7 (repeated)



::Verse #1::

    Bm                              F#m7

There’s a fork in the road, but you never take it

    Bm                F#m7

Always go the same way home

     Bm                   F#m7

It’s 6 o’clock so you’re medicated

  Bm                     F#m7

Easy when you’re living alone

     Em             A

and all the girls who come and go

       Em          A                   Bm      F#m7

They whisper in your ear â€œoh baby you know”

               Bm     F#m7

“Oh baby you know”



::Verse #2::

Bm                  F#m7

This town’s got a crooked grin

   Bm                          F#m7

You know it’s got a cold, cold heart

   Bm                       F#m7

Came here thinking it was yours to win

          Bm                     F#m7

But you’re dead before you even start

              Em         A

And all the friends who understood you

Em                       A                      Bm    F#m7

   Smile and shake your hand saying â€œreally we should”

               Bm    F#m7

“Really we should”



::Pre-Chorus::

          Gmaj7                D

And you dream, dream of better days

         Gmaj7                 D

And it seems they’re moving far away

        Gmaj7 

But you can’t ever stop

             Em

You keep climbing for the top

          C                         Em

Till the wind comes and blows you away



::Chorus::

               Bm            F#m7

You’re gonna watch yourself go down

               Bm            F#m7

You’re gonna watch yourself go down

               Bm            F#m7

You’re gonna watch yourself go down

               Bm   F#m7

Down, down, down

::Verse #3

Bm                      F#m7

When you were a kid the world was waiting

         Bm                          F#m7

You were everybody’s favourite son

             Bm                            F#m7

But now you wake up in a room where the light is fading

   Bm                               F#m7

I think you’re finally catching on

             Em        A

And all the days they fly just like

Em                 A                       Bm   F#m7

   People in your life who’re passing you by

                Bm          F#m7

Oh, Passing you by



::Pre-Chorus::

         Gmaj7                 D

And you dream, dream of better days

         Gmaj7                  D

And it seems they’re moving far away

        Gmaj7 

But you can’t ever stop

          Em

You keep climbing for the top

          C                       Em

Till the wind comes and blows you away



::Chorus::

              Bm            F#m7

You’re gonna watch yourself go down
