[A]
[B] Afternoon see a guy with rubies on [A] his hair
[B] And he's shifting like, shifting like [A] he was dead
[B] And he's hearing sounds that she [A] never said
[G] On his way back [A] home under [B] his bed
And we [G]
[A] come down
When [Bm] we [G]
[A] come down
[B] In a night of dirt who doesn't mind a [A] ragged sleep
[B] Knows someone still is gonna [A] grieve
And [B] we should just not [A] believe
Love
[G] [A] you by [B] faith
And we [G]
[A] come down
When
[Bm] we [G]
[A] come down
When [Bm] we [G]
[A] come down
We're down [F#] on you, down [A] on me
And a girl walks by [E] the barn and moves
She asks what's [G] gone wrong
Hear a man in his mind and then a [A] open why, why, why

In my [B] dreams can a coded train come to [A] my door
With [Bm] a little girl I can't have [A] anymore
[B] [Bm] Watched a dirty [A] show
That [G] I cannot read and [A] I promise [B] her no
[Bm] [G] And we [A] come down
And [Bm] we [G]
[A] come down
[Bm] When [G] we [A] come down
[Bm] Down [G] on me, down [A] on me
I cannot [Bm] breathe, [G] I cannot breathe
[A] Get [Bm] out, get out, [G] get out, get out, [A] get out
No,
[Bm] [G] oh [A] no, oh
[B] [G] no,
