[Verse 1]
  Gm     C7     Am7     Dm7
I always try to make it right
    Gm      Cadd2 F
But I keep coming short
      Gm7     Cadd2   Am7       Dm7
Can't seem to see why change is fine
     Gm7    Cadd2      F
When change crushes my hope
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
   Gm          C               Am       Dm7
My ten toes up turned six feet down and about
   Gm7         C               F   
To tear up the heart that told me not to doubt
   Gm            C            Am7        Dm7
In myself and in faith, every word is in vain
      Gm7           C          F
And I can't seem to figure out
 
 
[Chorus]
       Gm      C
Why am I still working
   Am7       Dm7     Gm      C
If it's just choking away my light?
       F                            Gm
Why do I still fight for my dreams?
     C           Am7       Dm7
When all that I've seen is dwindling
Gm    C     F
Down, down, down
 
 
[Verse 2]
    Gm7       Cadd2 Am7     Dm7     Gm7   Cadd2   F
The ones that I'd expect to try and understand me don't
     Gm7        C          Am7          Dm7
Know I could be better off worse in the end
     Gm7        C              F
Than unhappy in what they want
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
       Gm          C               Am       Dm7
But my ten toes up turned six feet down and about
   Gm7         Cadd2           F   
To tear up the heart that told me not to doubt
   Gm            C            Am7        Dm7
In myself and in faith, every word is in vain
      Gm7           C          F
And I can't seem to figure out
 
[Chorus]
       Gm      C
Why am I still working
   Am7       Dm7     Gm      C
If it's just choking away my light?
       F                           Gm
Why do I still fight for my dreams?
     C           Am7       Dm7
When all that I've seen is dwindling
Gm    C     F
Down, down, down
 
[Bridge]
Gm C Am7 Dm7 Gm C F
 
Gm C Am7 Dm7 Gm C F
 
    Gm        C                Dm7
But what if I can't avoid that life?
      Gm7             C        F       Gbdim
Every second it keeps creeping closer, closer
Gm7       C          Am7
What if I can't keep all I've tried?
Dm7        Gm7   C    F
I'm going down, down, down
 
 
[Chorus]
       Gm      C
Why am I still working
   Am7       Dm7     Gm      C
If it's just choking away my light?
       F                           Gm
Why do I still fight for my dreams?
     C           Am7       Dm7
When all that I've seen is dwindling
Gm    C     F
Down, down, down
       Gm      C
Why am I still working
   Am7       Dm7     Gm      C
If it's just choking away my light?
       F       N.C.            Gm
Why do I still fight for my dreams?
     C           Am7       Dm7
When all that I've seen is dwindling
Gm    C7    F
Down, down, down
              I always try to make it right
But I keep coming short
Can't seem to see why change is fine
When change crushes my hope

My ten toes up turned six feet down and about
To tear up the heart that told me not to doubt
In myself and in faith, every word is in vain
And I can't seem to figure out

Why am I still working
If it's just choking away my light?
Why do I still fight for my dreams?
When all that I've seen is dwindling
Down, down, down

The ones that I'd expect to try and understand me don't
Know I could be better off worse in the end
Than unhappy in what they want

But my ten toes up turned six feet down and about
To tear up the heart that told me not to doubt
In myself and in faith, every word is in vain
And I can't seem to figure out

Why am I still working
If it's just choking away my light?
Why do I still fight for my dreams?
When all that I've seen is dwindling
Down, down, down

But what if I can't avoid that life?
Every second it keeps creeping closer, closer
What if I can't keep all I've tried?
I'm going down, down, down

Why am I still working
If it's just choking away my light?
Why do I still fight for my dreams?
When all that I've seen is dwindling
Down, down, down
Why am I still working
If it's just choking away my light?
Why do I still fight for my dreams?
When all that I've seen is dwindling
Down, down, down
