Gm     C7     Am7     Dm7
I always try to make it right
    Gm      Cadd2 F
But I keep coming short
      Gm7     Cadd2   Am7       Dm7
Can't seem to see why change is fine
     Gm7    Cadd2      F
When change crushes my hope


[Pre-Chorus]
   Gm          C               Am       Dm7
My ten toes up turned six feet down and about
   Gm7         C               F         N.C.
To tear up the heart that told me not to doubt
   Gm            C            Am7        Dm7
In myself and in faith, every word is in vain
      Gm7           C          F
And I can't seem to figure out


[Chorus]
       Gm      C
Why am I still working
   Am7       Dm7     Gm      C
If it's just choking away my light?
       F       N.C.            Gm
Why do I still fight for my dreams?
     C           Am7       Dm7
When all that I've seen is dwindling
Gm    C     F
Down, down, down


[Verse 2]
    Gm7       Cadd2 Am7     Dm7     Gm7   Cadd2   F
The ones that I'd expect to try and understand me don't
     Gm7        C          Am7          Dm7
Know I could be better off worse in the end
     Gm7        C              F
Than unhappy in what they want


[Pre-Chorus]
       Gm          C               Am       Dm7
But my ten toes up turned six feet down and about
   Gm7         Cadd2           F         N.C.
To tear up the heart that told me not to doubt
   Gm            C            Am7        Dm7
In myself and in faith, every word is in vain
      Gm7           C          F
And I can't seem to figure out

[Chorus]
       Gm      C
Why am I still working
   Am7       Dm7     Gm      C
If it's just choking away my light?
       F       N.C.            Gm
Why do I still fight for my dreams?
     C           Am7       Dm7
When all that I've seen is dwindling
Gm    C     F
Down, down, down

[Bridge]
Gm C Am7 Dm7 Gm C F

Gm C Am7 Dm7 Gm C F

    Gm        C                Dm7
But what if I can't avoid that life?
      Gm7             C        F       Gbdim
Every second it keeps creeping closer, closer
Gm7       C          Am7
What if I can't keep all I've tried?
Dm7        Gm7   C    F
I'm going down, down, down


[Chorus]
       Gm      C
Why am I still working
   Am7       Dm7     Gm      C
If it's just choking away my light?
       F       N.C.            Gm
Why do I still fight for my dreams?
     C           Am7       Dm7
When all that I've seen is dwindling
Gm    C     F
Down, down, down
       Gm      C
Why am I still working
   Am7       Dm7     Gm      C
If it's just choking away my light?
       F       N.C.            Gm
Why do I still fight for my dreams?
     C           Am7       Dm7
When all that I've seen is dwindling
Gm    C7    F
Down, down, down
