Standard (EADGBE)

::Verse #1::

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

 Always go the same way home

 It’s 6 o’clock so you’re medicated

 Easy when you’re living alone

 and all the girls who come and go

 They whisper in your ear “oh baby you know”

 “Oh baby you know”

::Verse #2::

This town’s got a crooked grin

 You know it’s got a cold, cold heart

 Came here thinking it was yours to win

 But you’re dead before you even start

 And all the friends who understood you

Smile and shake your hand saying “really we should”

 “Really we should”

::Pre-Chorus::

 And you dream, dream of better days

 And it seems they’re moving far away

 But you can’t ever stop

 You keep climbing for the top

 Till the wind comes and blows you away

::Chorus::

 You’re gonna watch yourself go down

 You’re gonna watch yourself go down

 You’re gonna watch yourself go down

 Down, down, down

::Trumpet Solo::

::Organ Solo::

::Verse #3

When you were a kid the world was waiting

 You were everybody’s favourite son

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

 I think you’re finally catching on

 And all the days they fly just like

People in your life who’re passing you by

 Oh, Passing you by

::Pre-Chorus::

 And you dream, dream of better days

 And it seems they’re moving far away

 But you can’t ever stop

 You keep climbing for the top

 Till the wind comes and blows you away

::Chorus::

 You’re gonna watch yourself go down

 You’re gonna watch yourself go down

 You’re gonna watch yourself go down

 Down, down, down

::Interlude::

::Outro::

 You’re gonna watch yourself go down

 You’re gonna watch yourself go down

 You’re gonna watch yourself go down
