Can't Come Down Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G]

[Verse 1]
[G]I'm flying down deserted streets
Wrapped in mother's
winding sheets
Asbestos boots on flaming [F]feet
[G]Dreaming of forbidden treats
When uniforms on nighttime beats
Ask me where I'm going and what I eat

[Verse 2]
I answer them with a voice so sweet
[C]I can't come [Dm]down
It's plain to see
I can't come [G]down
I've been set free
[A]Who [F]you are and what you [C]do
Don't [Bb]make no difference [A]to me

[Interlude 1]
[C][G]

[Verse 3]
Well [G]someone's trying to
tell me where it's at
How I do this and why I do that
[F]Wit[G]h secret smiles, like a Cheshire Cat
And leather wings like a vampire bat
I fly away to my cold water flat
And eat my way to a bone of fat
And I say to the man with the funny hat
[F]I[C]

[Verse 4]
can't come [Ab]down
It's [Dm]plain to see
I can[Bb]'t come down
I've [G]been set free
[A]Who you [F]are [Eb]and what you [F]do
Don't [Bb]make no difference to me

[Interlude 2]
[A][C][G]

[Verse 5]
They [G]say I've begun to lose my [F]grip
[G]My hold on reality is starting to slip
Tell me to get off this trip
They say that it's like a sinking ship
Life's sweet wine's too warm to sip
And if I drink I'll surely flip
I just say as I take a nip

[Verse 6]
I [C]can't come [Ab]down
It's [Dm]plain to see
I [Bb]can't come down
I've [G]been set free
[C]Who [F]you are and [Eb]what [F]you [C]do
Don't [Bb]make no difference to me

[Interlude 3]
[A][C][G]

[Verse 7]
So, [G]as I dream of cotton seas
And granite halls and redwood trees
An ugly eye that only sees
Endless mirrors and infinite me's
About the winter's coming freeze
This afterthought I say with ease
To all of you who made your pleas
[C]I

[Verse 8]
can't come down
It's [Dm]plain to see
I can[Bb]'t come down
[G]I've been set free
[A]Who [F]you are and what [C]you do
Don't [Bb]make no difference to me

[Outro 1]
[A][C][G]
[G][C][G][C][G][C][G][F][G][G][G]
