Somebody told me Hank Williams died in his Cadillac

Everybody's gotta go sometime
D A
Sooner or later they call your name

I don't know where yet, but I'm willing to bet that
E A
I'm going down in flames
[Chorus]
F#m A
Down in flames, Down in flames

When the good times end and they count my sins
E A
I'm going down in flames

James Dean bought it on the highway

Marilyn found it in a pill

Elvis died – or did he? – they're looking for him still

Some go soft and quiet

Some go out with a bang
D A
Well it's way too late for the pearly gates

I'm going down in flames
[Chorus]

Down in flames, Down in flames
D A
When the good times end and they count my sins

I already bought my ticket, I'm going down in flames
F#m A
Down in flames, Down in flames

When the good times end and they count my sins
E A
I'm going down in flames
