Not Going Down

Written by Slaid Cleaves/Rod Picott

	  		G                 D 
We were born in a dying town 
C                     G 
Where deperate souls just hang around 
G             D            C 
Waiting for a reason to believe 
G                         D                
The young get old and the old they stay 
C                    G 
And slowly they just fade away 
        D                   C                    G 
But I'm going not down that way no I'm not going down 
D                         C            G 
Cause I've been the loser desperate to win 
D                         C               G 
And I've tasted snake oil and I've tasted sin 
G                         D               C             G      
I've stumbled through the darkness on the outskirts of town 
        D                   C                     G 
But I'm going not down that way no I'm not going down 
G                       D 
I met a waitress out on 95 
C                        G 
She lived her life like throwing dice 
G                 D                C 
Her habit finally took the best of her 
G               D 
She drew me  in day by day 
C                        G             
Yea love's a drug that's what they say 
        D                   C                    G  
But I'm going not down that way no I'm not going down 
D                         C            G 
Cause I've been the loser desperate to win 
G                    
And I've tasted snake oil and sin 
G                         D               C            G 
I've stumbled through the darkness on the outskirts of town 
        D                   C                    G 
But I'm going not down that way no I'm not going down 
       D   C    G   D 
Let it go 
       D   C    G   
Let it go 
G                     D 
You flash that shiny golden smile 
C                    G 
You say it'll be all right in a while 
G            D                  C 
But I'm not about to shake your hand 
G                      D 
Yes I've made promises I couldn't keep 
C                         G 
And I've lost a couple of nights of sleep 
        D                   C                    G 
But I'm going not down that way no I'm not going down 
        D                   C                    G 
But I'm going not down that way no I'm not going down 
D                         C            G  
Cause I've been the loser desperate to win 
D                         C               G 
And I've tasted snake oil and I've tasted sin 
G                         D               C             G      
I've stumbled through the darkness on the outskirts of town 
        D              C                           G 
But I'm going not down that way no I'm not going down 
       D   C    G   D 
Let it go 
       D   C    G   
Let it go 
       D   C    G   D 
Let it go 
       D   C    G   
Let it go 
G                         D               C             G      
I've stumbled through the darkness on the outskirts of town
