Outro the same as intro and verse.
If it gets you down well then I'll take it
If it gets you up well I don't want it
It let you down so broken hearted
If it gets you down well then I want it
If only we're nothing at all
So blow our mind and make it lazy
Those long long days with no escaping
I hold the wheel to let it go
Don't wanna stop, don't wanna know
If it gets you down, well just don't blame me
If only we're nothing at all

version 2
Tuning: Originally in C, but transposed for Standard (E,A,D,G,B,e)
