Intro: Bb F C G (x2)

Bb          F        C                G               Bb 

Rolling down the hill to see my friends, I don't feel well,

               F          C         G

And I'm not happy, but I'm going to be.

Bb               F               C             G               Bb

The summer starts and the summer ends, I look around at all my friends,

                   F                 C          G

And they don't seem happy, but they're going to be.

           Bb             F      C                      G

And they say life's a dream, we believe what we want to believe,

              Bb           F      G

And I want to believe in something please.

               C Gm Eb               F             C  Gm

So don't let me down, please place me gently on the ground,

        Eb         F              Gm         C             Eb              C

It took me all this time to figure out what I need, and the journey made me weak,

               Bb         Ab                 Eb

Don't you let me down this time, don't let me down,

           Bb         Ab                 Eb

Don't let me down this time, don't let me down.

Bb       F            C                    G                    Bb

I needed more, or so I thought, I needed a love that couldn't be bought,

             F                C         G

But I kept on spending 'til he loved me not.

Bb          F             C                  G              Bb

Now someone new is coming in, oh god it's so sweet when it begins,

          F                 C          G

But I'm so bitter, what if I poison him?

           Bb           F               C                       G

And he says that I'm the dream he's been praying for down on his knees,

              Bb          F        G

And I want to believe him please, believe.

               C Gm Eb               F             C  Gm

He won't let me down, please place me gently on the ground,

        Eb         F              Gm         C             Eb              C

It took me all this time to figure out what I need, and the journey made me bleed,

               Bb         Ab                 Eb

Don't you let me down this time, don't let me down

                   Bb           Ab                 Eb

And I feel like I'm running this time, don't let me down,

                       Bb          Ab                 Eb

'Cause I feel like it's coming this time, don't let me down,

                     Bb          Ab                 Eb

Yeah I feel like it's coming this time, don't let me down,

                      C-Gm-Eb-F (x3) C-Gm

Oh please don't let me down.

Eb       F              Gm         C             Eb              F

All this time to figure out what I mean, and the journey made me bleed,

               C Gm Eb               F             C  Gm

So don't let me down, please place me gently on the ground,

         Eb        F              Gm         C             Eb              C

It took me all this time to figure out what I mean, and the journey made me bleed,

               Bb         Ab                 Eb

Don't you let me down this time, don't let me down,

            Bb        Ab                 Eb

Don't let me down this time, don't let me down.

            Bb Ab Eb

Don't let me down.
