Before It Gets Me Down

Richard Allan II - Before It Gets Me Down

Capo 6
Chord progression throughout the whole song: B-C#-A

Verse 1:
B        C#                   A
The hand upon your shoulder,
Grows colder everyday.
B        C#                   A
But you never turn to face.

Verse 2:
All you hopeless lovers,
Greater than the last
But never quite the first.

Chorus:
         B              C#     A
Well I used to find it funny.
                                B    C#     A
But I've forgotten how to laugh.
                                B    C#     A
I've been lurking in the dark,
                              B      C#     A
Plotting my escape.

   B              C#     
Before it gets me down,
        A
I will leave this town.
         B     C#   
Some decide to run,
            A
But I will stay with you, my son.

Verse 3:
I've been chasing tails,
Since I was a boy.
It never seems to change.

Verse 4:
All you A-class soldiers,
Longing for the heights
You'll never reach again.

Chorus
