Well, I stood prepared as [F#m] you took the chair, [G] there was no need to [D] satisfy you
I'll be there, no, [F#m] I held your [G] hand, there felt a need to [A] crucify you
You're [Bm] going down, [F#m] baby, baby [G] You're going down, [A] baby, baby
[D] You're in a [F#m] tailspin,
[G] running out of [D] your head You're in a [F#m] tailspin,
[G] running out [D] of your head
You're a fragile flower [F#m] in its final hour [G] With no chance to [D] taste the waters
Just declare [F#m] you'll get fifteen years, [G] join the lonely sons [A] and daughters
[Bm] You're going down, [F#m] baby, baby [G] You're going down, [A] baby, baby
[D] You're in a [F#m] tailspin,
[G] running out [D] of your head You're in a [F#m] tailspin,
[G] running out [D] of your head

Smoking mirrors [F#m] couldn't hide your [G] tears, your eyes only [D] betrayed you
Long trip, you lost [F#m] your grip, [G] we've all been praying [A] for you
[Bm] You're going down, [F#m] baby, baby [G] You're going down, [A] baby, baby
[D] You're in a tailspin, [F#m] [G] running out [D] of your head You're in a [F#m] tailspin, [G] running out [D] of your head
