(Verse 1)
D G
Rotted away
D G
The ides out of your May
D G
As far as falls from grace are placed
D G
I guess you're graciously effaced
(Chorus)

But don't you let me down again
D G
Don't you let me down again
D G
Don't you let me down so gently
(Verse 2)
D G
The wine was mine to serve
D G
To dribble on your skirts
D G
The napkin dab is a task best left
D G
For the guests to work
(Chorus)
D G
But don't you let me down again
D G
Don't you let me down again
D G
Don't you let me down so gently
(Verse 3)
D G
Wholly incomplete
D G
Or holy and complete?
D G D G
Don't I feel you when you weep?
D G D G
But we're all just beads on the same string
D G
Seemingly discreet
D G D G
Tethered inextri---cably

No Eve ain't naive no more
D G D G D G
No you've no use to know you anymore

Don't you let me down again

D G
But don't you let me down again

Don't you let me down again

Don't you let me down so gently
