Intro
Am Em, C E7 (x2)
Verse 1:
Am Dm C E7
I remember when, I saw the sea freeze.
Am Dm C E7
But it said nothing, about the birds and the bees.
Am Dm C E7
They were swarming around my head; you'd be better off dead.
Bridge 1:
F Em
But I ain't going down like that.
F Em
I ain't going down like that.
Chorus 1:
Am Dm
'Cos I'm better than him and I know where I've been,
C E7
You know where I'm coming from.
Am Dm
And I'm hired to sin, but don't we all sin?
C E7
That is the truth and the truth is grim.
Am Dm
It ain't easy in jail; the stories for sale,
C E7
Your father has died, while he's gripped for bail.
Am Dm
He points to the west and he leaves out the rest,
C E7
And wants you to be his special guest.

Verse 2:
Am Dm C E7

And the gown you wouldn't wear to the Ball.

Into the ditch I fly; wanted dead or a-live.

No, I ain't going down like that.
