Baby and I are through

I've been down to the bottom
F#m G# C#m
With a bad, bad man
G#
Down to the bottom, babe
F#m G# A
With a bad, bad man

G# F#m G#
Well, he said this darkness, it was untrue
C#m G#
And first he said this darkness
F#m G#
Darlin', it was untrue
A G# C#m A
And that there was no light to be found in you
[Chorus]
G# C#m
But I know, darlin', that that's not true
[Verse]
G#
And I had a dream so black
F#m G# C#m

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

That man never even knew I was here

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

G#
Take me down to your river
F#m G# C#m

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