Chord/Tab song: Down Like Me

Capo 1

[C]At last I understand the [Am]consequences of my love

But [Dm]how could there be a heaven where they [G]kicked you out

'cause you kicked out your chair from a[C]bove

Everybode loves to [Am]stick with the winner

But [Dm]you showed me the line between [G]victory and dying

couldn't get much thinner 'cause [C]you

You found out how to get [F]down

[G7]Down [Gsus2]like [F]me

[C]When my self-pity became [Am]less than a full-time work

[Dm]I meditated on the methods [G]and the means

and whether or not it would [C]hurt

Then I got a call they found you [Am]swinging out over the earth

And [Dm]so over me you win again in f[G]inishes, forms,

in finals and in [C]firsts

You finally had to get [F]down

[G7]Down [Gsus2]like [F]me

[C]"By the time you read this I will [Am]no longer be here"

[Dm]I had to read these words to all your f[G]amily, friends

everybody you never held [C]dear

We'll keep an empty place at [Am]dinner forever

And [Dm]I'll maintain an empty chair so[G] you can set in

And we'll never grow old toget[C]her

You showed 'em how to get [F]down

[G7]Down [Gsus2]like [F]me
