E A7
I met a girl, a snowball in hell
Am7 G C D D#
She was as hard and as cracked as the Liberty Bell
E A7
I got her to come on and move in with me
Am7 G C5 D5 G5 A5 B5
And I said I'd find a better place we could spend eternity
C5 B5 A5
Don't go down, don't go down
D5 G5 C5 G5 C5 G5 B5
Stay with me, baby staaaaaay
E A7
Her mama called me a thief
Am7 G C D D#
And her dad called himself commander-in-chief
E A7
I fought him off with my love
Am7 G C5 D5 G5 A5 B5
But I knew the sense of worthlessness she'd have to rise above
C5 B5 A5
Don't go down, Don't go down
D5 G5 C5 G5 C5 G5 B5
Stay with me, Baby, staaaaaay
(Play through verse)
C5 B5 A5
Don't go down, Don't go down
D5 G5 C5 G5 C5 G5 B5
Stay with me, Baby, staaaaaay

E A7
She had a dream, woke up in shock
Am7 G C
She had seen her own body outlined in chalk
E A7
I split the scene, the globe had been spun
Am7 G C5 D5 G5 A5 B5
And her ghost leaned down to kiss me with a message from the sun
C5 B5 A5
Don't go down, Don't go down
D5 C5
Stay with me, Baby stay
B5 A5
Don't go down
D5 C5
Stay with me, Baby stay
B5 A5
Don't go down
D5 G5
Stay with me, Baby, stay
G5
Stay
