E                           A
I met a girl, a snowball in hell 
         Am             G                     C     D   D#
She was as hard and as cracked as the Liberty Bell 
E                                     A
I got her to come on and move in with me
      Am                G                   C  D  G  A  B
And I said I'd find a better place we could spend eternity
         C      Bm       A    
Don't go down, don't go down
D             G C G C G   B
Stay with me, baby stay 


E                    A
Her mama called me a thief
        Am         G                    C     D   D#
And her dad called himself commander-in-chief
E                        A
I fought him off with my love
      Am                G                   C   D   G   A   B
But I knew the sense of worthlessness she'd have to rise above
         C     Bm       A
Don't go down, Don't go down
D             G C G C G   B
Stay with me, Baby, stay


(Play through verse)

         C     Bm       A
Don't go down, Don't go down
D             G C G C G   B
Stay with me, Baby, stay


E                           A
She had a dream, woke up in shock
        Am           G                C
She had seen her own body outlined in chalk
E                                     A
I split the scene, the globe had been spun
        Am                   G              C   D   G    A   B
And her ghost leaned down to kiss me with a message from the sun
         C     Bm       A
Don't go down, Don't go down
D                  C
Stay with me, Baby stay
Bm       A
Don't go down
D                  C
Stay with me, Baby stay
Bm       A
Don't go down
D                   G
Stay with me, Baby, stay
G
Stay
