          Bm                        F#m
There’s a fork in the road, but you never take it
Bm                     F#m
Always go the same way home
     Bm                  F#m
It’s 6 o’clock so you’re medicated
Bm                       F#m
Easy when you’re living alone
            Em        A
And all the girls who come and go
    Em               A                Bm    F#m
They whisper in your ear “oh baby you know”
             Bm    F#m
“Oh baby you know”


Bm                     F#m
Well this town’s got a crooked grin
    Bm                         F#m
You know it’s got a cold, cold heart
Bm                        F#m
Came here thinking it was yours to win
           Bm                   F#m
But you’re dead before you even start
            Em          A
And all the friends who understood you
Em                   A                      Bm      F#m
Smile and shake your hand saying “really we should”
              Bm      F#m
“Ah really we should” 

        Gmaj7                  D
And you dream, dream of better days
       Gmaj7                     D
And it seems they’re moving far away
        Gmaj7
But you can’t ever stop
         Em
You keep climbing for the top
         C                         Em
Till the wind comes and blows you away
             Bm                F#m
You’re gonna watch yourself go down
             Bm                F#m
You’re gonna watch yourself go down
             Bm                F#m
You’re gonna watch yourself go down
            Bm    F#m
Down, down, down

Bm                           F#m
When you were a kid well the world was waiting
         Bm                    F#m
You were everybody’s favourite son
            Bm                          F#m
But now you wake up in a room where the light is fading
  Bm                            F#m
I think you’re finally catching on
            Em        A
And all the days they fly just like 
Em             A                       Bm F#m
People in your life who’re passing you by
               Bm F#m
Oh passing you by 

        Gmaj7                  D
And you dream, dream of better days
       Gmaj7                     D
And it seems they’re moving far away
        Gmaj7          
But you can’t ever stop
         Em
You keep climbing for the top
         C                         Em
Till the wind comes and blows you away
             Bm                F#m
You’re gonna watch yourself go down
             Bm                F#m
You’re gonna watch yourself go down
             Bm                F#m
You’re gonna watch yourself go down
            Bm    F#m
Down, down, down
