Ain't Going Down This Time

[Bm]

[Bm]                        [G] – [A]           [Bm]
I ‘ve  been  layin’  low  -  livin’  in  the  shadows
Spendin’  ti[Em7]me  alone  -  conversations  with  the  wa[Bm]ll

Hangin’  on
[G]I’m  just  [A]tryin’  to [Bm] matter
And  I  rema[Em7]in,  t[G]ryin’  to  make  some  sen[A]se  of  it  al[Bm]l

[G]I ‘ve  been  here   [A]before,  I’m  familiar  with  the  pai[Bm]n
[G]But  I  ain’t  runnin’  no  m[A]ore,  there’s  one  thing  cha[F#]nged            (-stop-)
Ain’t  goin’  down  this  t[Bm]ime,
[G]This  time  I  [A]ain’t  goin’[Bm] down

Like  an  undertow  -  I  feel  the  promis  of  the  nighttime
But   I’ve  been  down  that  road  -  and  my search  came  to  an  end
I  hit  the  motherload
Enough  blues  for  a  lifetime
Now  I’m  digging  deep  inside,  tryin’  to  find  my  way  back  again

You  know  you’ve  entered  the  danger  zone
When  you  look  in  the  eyes  and  there’s  no  one home
Ain’t  goin’  down  this  time
This  time I  ain’t  goin’  down

Deep  in  the  night  -  I  miss  a  woman’s  touch
The  fire  burns  strong  -  and  I’m  drawn  to the  flame
But  I  pay  the  price
When  I   get  caught  up  in  the  heartbeat
And   passion  flows  -  un-res-trained

No  one   left  to   blame  -  I’m  faced  with  the  truth
And  it’s  all  too  plain  -  when  there’s  nothing  left  to  lose
Ain’t  goin’  down  this  time
This  time I  ain’t  goin’ down
