Capo 2nd fret
Standard (EADGBE)
Intro
Why can't you be there for me
A friend is nowhere to be found
I just don't understand why you
Kick me when I'm down
Verse 1
Enter the room maybe too soon
Nobody seems to be through
They were just talking 'bout me
Now the silence is killing me
I made a mistake now it's too late
Everyone just can't wait
Ya just wanna tell a friend
Start the beginning of my end
PRE CHORUS
You must have never fallen short
Always doing the right thing
'Cause if you ain't so perfect then
don't throw another stone at me
Chorus
Why can't you be there for me
A friend is nowhere to be found
I just don't understand why you
Kick me when I'm down
You think it's over now but
I'm gonna turn it all around
Why can't you see that you
Kick me when I'm down
Verse 2
Trying to walk but then I get caught up
Don't know if I have enough
Just stop looking down on me
You're seeing right through my need
Thought I could count on you
As someone to be true
Helping me get through
You coulda reached for me
But your back is all I see
REPEAT CHORUS
PRE CHORUS
You must have never fallen short
Always doing the right thing

don't throw another stone at me

Why do you kick me when I'm down
I just don't understand when I'm down
Why can't you see me when I'm down
I just don't understand when I'm down

Kickin' me, Kickin me,
