Verse
[Bm]I ‘ve been layin’ low [G]- [A]livin’ in the [Bm]shadows
Spendin’ [Em7]time alone - conversations with the [Bm]wall
Hangin’ on
[G]I’m just [A]tryin’ to [Bm] matter
And I [Em7]remain, [G] tryin’ to make some [A]sense of it [Bm] all
[G]I ‘ve been here [A]before, I’m familiar with the [Bm]pain
[G]But I ain’t runnin’ no [A]more, there’s one thing [F#7]changed (-stop-)
Chorus
Ain’t goin’ [Em]down this [Bm]time,
[G]This time I [A]ain’t goin’ [Bm]down
Verse
[Bm]Like an undertow - I [G]feel the [A]promis of the [Bm]nighttime
But I’ve been [Em7]down that road - and my search came to an [Bm]end
I hit the motherload
[G]Enough [A]blues for a [Bm]lifetime
Now I’m digging [Em7]deep inside, [G]tryin’ to find my [A]way back [Bm]again
[G]You know you’ve [A]entered the danger [Bm]zone
[G]When you look in the [A]eyes and there’s no one [F#7]home (-stop-)

Verse
[Bm]Deep in the night [G]- I[A] miss a woman’s [Bm]touch
The fire burns [Em7]strong - and I’m drawn to the [Bm]flame
But I pay the price
[G]When I get [A]caught up in the [Bm]heartbeat
And passion [Em7]flows [G] - [A][Bm]un-res-trained
[G]No one left to [A]blame - I’m faced with the [Bm]truth
[G]And it’s all too [A]plain - when there’s nothing left to [F#7]lose
(-stop-)
Chorus
Ain’t goin’ [Em]down this [Bm]time,
