Intro and Verse: Dm F C G
Down here at the bottom when you're staring at the top
With a headful of ideas, I'm only flesh and blood
On an eiderdown of glory and a pillow of desire
Drifting on an ocean and the waves wash through my mind
FA REm LAm
Something haunts us, kicks the stars from our skies
FA REm LAm
Blows the lights out with a whisper and sighs
FA SOL LAm
If you're down, down, I'm down, down
SOL FA LAm
And when you're down, down, I'm down, down
Well I was nearly me and you were nearly you
The nearly man was nothing, he was never any use
Beaten down by generations of generations beaten down
There's nothing I can promise that my conscience will allow
