REPEAT VERSE
Now I'm relieved to hear, that you've been to some far out places,
Its hard to carry on, when you feel all alone,
Now Ive swung back down again, its worse than it was before,
If I hadn't seen such riches, I could live with being poor,
REPEAT CHORUS
Oh sit down, oh sit down, oh sit down, sit down next to me,
Sit down, down, down, down, down, in sympathy.
REPEAT VERSE QUIETLY
Those who feel the breath of sadness (sit down next to me),
Those who find they're touched by madness (sit down next to me),
Those who find themselves ridiculous (sit down next to me),
In love, in fear, in hate, in tears,
In love, in fear, in hate, in tears,
In love... in fear... in hate... in tears,
In love, in fear, in hate, in tears...
Down................
Down................
REPEAT CHORUS
Oh sit down, oh sit down, oh sit down, sit down next to me,
Sit down, down, down, down, down, in sympathy.
Oh sit down, oh sit down, oh sit down, sit down next to me,
Sit down, down, down, down, down, in sympathy.
Finish on a powerful E chord

I'll sing myself to sleep
A song from the darkest hour
Secrets I can't keep
Inside of a day
Swing from high to deep
Extremes of sweet and sour
Hope that God exists
I hope, I pray
Drawn by the undertow
My life is out of control
I believe this wave will bear my weight
So let it flow
Oh, sit down
Oh, sit down
Oh, sit down
Sit down next to me
Sit down (sit down, sit down, sit down, down)
In sympathy
Now I'm relieved to hear
That you've been to some far out places
It's hard to carry on
When you feel all alone
Now I've swung back down again
It's worse than it was before

I could live with being poor
Oh, sit down
Oh, sit down
Oh, sit down
Sit down next to me
Sit down (sit down, sit down, sit down, down)
In sympathy
Those who feel the breath of sadness
Sit down next to me
Those who find they're touched by madness
Sit down next to me
Those who find themselves ridiculous
Sit down next to me
In love, in fear, in hate, in tears
In love, in fear, in hate, in tears
In love, in fear, in hate, in tears
In love, in fear, in hate

If you are pedantic the chords you are looking for are more along the lines of E,A5,Bsus2
but it makes little difference.
