Baby and I are through

I've been down to the bottom

With a bad, bad man
A#
Down to the bottom, babe
G#m A# B
With a bad, bad man

[Verse]
A# G#m A#
Well, he said this darkness, it was untrue
D#m A#
And first he said this darkness
G#m A#
Darlin', it was untrue
B A# D#m B
And that there was no light to be found in you
[Chorus]

But I know, darlin', that that's not true

And I had a dream so black

Just where you've been
B A#
But I've hung myself heavy here
B A# D#m D#m
Babe, I don't know where the hell I am
[Verse]
A#
I thought that man, babe
G#m A# D#m
He might have something that I need
I thought that man, darlin'
G#m A#
He might have something that I need
[Chorus]
B A#
But he had no anger
D#
For you or for me
B A#
And, babe, I swear

That man never even knew I was here

Some of these friends of mine
G#m A# D#m
How I miss them so
A#
Good Lord, these sweet friends of mine
G#m A#
How I miss them so
[Chorus]
B A#
But some of these, others beg
B A#
Well they're driving me around
On some cold, dark, and strange

Take me down to your river
G#m A# D#m

Down to your river, darlin'
G#m A# D#m
I want to know just how it runs
B A#
But if that man waits on the path
B A# D#m B
Then I know for good that I'm done
A#
And I got a feeling
B A# D#m
That man, he's just begun
