(Lyrics)
I'll tell you flat out, it hurts so much to think of this
So from my thoughts I will exclude this very thing
That I hate more than everything is The way I'm powerless
To dictate my own moods
I've thrown away so many things that could've been much more
And I just pray my problems go away if they're ignored
But that's not the way it works, no that's not the way it works
When I go down, I go down hard
And I take everything I've learned, and teach myself some disregard
When I go down, It hurts to hit the bottom
And of the things that got me there, I think, if only I had fought them
If and when I can clear myself of this clouded mind
I'll watch myself settle down Into a place
Where peace can search me out and find that I'm so ready to be found
I've thrown away the hope I had in friendships
I've thrown away so many things that could have been much more
I've thrown away the secret to find an end to this
And I just pray ,y problems go away if they're ignored
But that's not the way it works, no that's not the way it works
Any control I thought I had just slips right through my hands
While my ever-present conscience shakes its head and reprimands me, reprimands me Then
there I confess I'll blame all this on my selfishness
Yet you love me, and that consumes me
And I'll stand up again, and do so willingly
You give me hope, and hope it gives me life
You touch my heavy heart, and when you do you make it light
As I exhale I hear your voice And I answer you, though I hardly make a noise
And from my lips the words I choose to say
Seem pathetic, but it's fallen man's praise
Because I love you, Oh God, I love you
And life is now worth living if only because of you
And when they say I'm dead and gone it won't be further from the truth
When I go down, I life my eyes up to you
I won't look very far, 'Cause you'll be there
With open arms To lift me up again, to life me up again

Then and there I confess, and I'll blame all this on my selfishness
Dsus2 G5
Yet You love me and that consumes me

And I'll stand up again and do so will-ing-ly

Gtype2 Bm Gtype2 D
Gtype2 D/F# Gtype2 D
You give me hope and hope it gives me life
Gtype2 Bm Gtype2 D
You touch my heavy heart and when You do You make it light
Gtype2 D/F# Gtype2 D
As I exhale, I hear Your voice
Gtype2 Bm Gtype2 D
And I answer You, though I hardly make a noise
Gtype2 D/F# Gtype2 D Gtype2
And from my lips the words I choose to say seem pathetic
Gtype2 D
But it's a fallen man's praise
G D/F# Gtype2 D
Cause I love You
Gtype2 Bm Gtype2 D
Oh, God, I love You
Gtype2 D/F# Gtype2 D
Gtype2 Bm Gtype2 D

And life is now worth living if only because of You

And when they say that I am dead and gone

It won't be further from the truth

Capo on 2:
Verse 1:
D G
I'll tell you flat out
Bm
It hurts so much to think of this
Asus4
So from my thoughts I will exclude
The very thing that
I hate more than everything is
The way I'm powerless
To dictate my own moods
Verse 2:
C F
I've thrown away
C F
So many things that could've been much more
C F
And I just pray
C F D
My problems go away if they're ignored
F
But that's not the way it works
G C
No that's not the way it works
Chorus:
C
When I go down
F
I go down hard
Am
And I take everything I've learned
G
And teach myself some disregard
When I go down
It hurts to hit the bottom
And of the things that got me there
I think, if only I had fought them
Verse 3:
If and when I can
Clear myself of this clouded mind
I'll watch myself settle down
Into a place where
Peace can search me out and find
That I'm so ready to be found
Verse 4:
I've thrown away
The hope I had in friendships
I've thrown away
So many things that could have been much more
I've thrown away
The secret to find an end to this
And I just pray
My problems go away if they're ignored
But that's not the way it works
No that's not the way it works
Bridge:
C G F C
Any control I thought I had just slips right through my hands
G F C
While my ever-present conscience shakes its head and reprimands me
G
Reprimands me
C
Then and there
F
I confess
C F
I'll blame all this on my selfishness
Yet you love me
And that consumes me
And I'll stand up again
And do so willingly
Bridge 2:
F C F C....
You give me hope, and hope it gives me life
You touch my heavy heart, and when you do you make it light
As I exhale I hear your voice
And I answer you, though I hardly make a noise
And from my lips the words I choose to say
Seem pathetic, but it's fallen man's praise
Because I love you
Oh God, I love you
And life is now worth living
If only because of you
And when they say that I'm dead and gone
It won't be further from the truth
Coda:
When I go down
I lift my eyes to you
I won't look very far
Cause you'll be there
With open arms
To lift me up again
To lift me up again

Tuning:EADGBe
Found this part quite interesting and it became very pronounced during the live performances during the MMHMM
10th Anniversary tour. This is the part at the very end ( after "and when they say that I'm dead and gone,
they won't be further from the truth") as well as showing up as the outro during the 10th anniversary live
versions. Hope you enjoy!
