Tune your guitar a whole step down.
INTRO (not 100% sure on the intro)
G, Dm, G
G
Broke down at the end of the night,
Em C
can't seem to get anything right,
G
so numb I can't feel things anymore
D
somehow can feel me letting go
C D
I know theres so many things that I
G Em
need to do and I need to say
C G D
no matter how hard I try I can't get the words out right
G
man down tie a ribbon around my soul
Em C
I'm in the black and I'm outta control
D
like a ship thats lost in the night
C D
with no direction or a guiding light
G
man down and I'm drowing in the pain
Em C
face down like a needle in the vein
D
you're the only thing that keeps me sane
C D G
but somehow I can't keep you out of my rain
Em C
I see you standing in the rain
G
the lights of the city feels so bright
Em C
all these colors I've got inside
G
in these streets I feel like a foriegner
D
and all I paint is myself in a corner
C D
going on seems to hurt so much
G Em
all the world seems so cold to the touch
C G
when I go to sleep I don't dream
D
I just see the black television screen
G
man down tie a ribbon around my soul
Em C
I'm in the black and I'm outta control
D
like a ship thats lost in the night
C D
with no direction or a guiding light
G
man down and I'm drowing in the pain
Em C
face down like a needle in the vein
D
you're the only thing that keeps me sane
C D G
but somehow I can't keep you out of my rain
Em C
I see you standing in the rain
Dm, G
G
tie a ribbon for the child in me
Em C
on every door and on every tree
G
make it black for the way that I feel
D
cause black is the only color thats real
G
man down tie a ribbon around my soul
Em C
I'm in the black and I'm outta control
D
like a ship thats lost in the night
C D
with no direction or a guiding light
G
man down and I'm drowing in the pain
Em C
face down like a needle in the vein
D
you're the only thing that keeps me sane
C D G
but somehow I can't keep you out of my rain
Em C
I see you standing in the rain
G
broke down at the end of the night
Em C
can't seem to get anything, right
