D G I wake up every morning and that's my first mistake A D From there on in it's downhill all the way G Em I used to have a problem but now you want to leave A D My new problem's getting through the day Chorus: G A D Going down for the first time G Em A Guess I've yet to learn loves ain't blind Bm F#m I could use a little help, Bm F#m I can't stay here by myself G A D A/C# And I can't work you out of my mind Now I don't mind admitting that maybe you were right The more we try the less it seems to work We get so used to banging our heads against the wall It's only when we stop it starts to hurt Chorus: G A D Going down for the first time G Em A Guess I've yet to learn loves ain't blind Bm F#m I could use a little help, Bm F#m I can't stay here by myself Em A I'll step right out of line, Em A I'll go clean out of time A#dim Bm F#m Yes I could use a little help, Bm F#m know I'd lose it by myself G A If you fall out of sight, G A you know you'll turn out the light - x2 And I'll quietly go out of my mind You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA  A#dim  C#  D  Em  F#m  G  Bm  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
