A                  E            E7sus4       F#m
We sit in the car outside your house you're quiet
      F#7sus4         D      D6
I can feel the heat a comin' round
A               E     E7sus4
I go to put my arm a-round you and ya
F#m        F#7sus4       D          Dsus2
Give me a look like I'm way out of bounds, well
A                   E          E7sus4
You let out one of your bored sighs
F#m         F#7sus4         D       Dsus2
Well lately when I look in-to your eyes

Chorus:
    D6     A         E7sus4
I'm goin' down down down down
E          F#m       D       Dsus2
I'm goin' down down down down
    D6     A         E7sus4
I'm goin' down down down down
E          F#m       D       Dsus2
I'm goin' down down down down

We get dressed up, and we go out, baby,
for the night
We come home early burning, burning in
some fire fight
I'm sick and tired of you setting me up, yeah
Setting me up just to knock-a knock-a
knock-a me down
Down, down, down

Chorus:
I'm goin' down, down, down, down
I'm goin' down, down, down, down
I'm goin' down, down, down, down
I'm goin' down, down, down, down

I pull you close now, baby
But when we kiss, I can feel a doubt
I remember back when we started
My kisses used to turn you inside-out
I used to drive you to work in the morning

Friday night, I'd drive you all around
You used to love to drive me wild, yeah
But lately, girl, you get your kicks
from just driving me down
Down, down, down

Chorus:
I'm goin' down, down, down, down
I'm goin' down, down, down, down
I'm goin' down, down, down, down
I'm goin' down, down, down, down

I'm goin' down, down, down, down
I'm goin' down, down, down, down
I'm goin' down, down, down, down
I'm goin' down, hey a-boppa de down, down
I'm goin' down, down, down, down
I'm goin' down, hey a-boppa de down, down
I'm goin' down, down, down, hey
I'm goin' down, down, hey boppa,
hey boppa de down, say
Mmm, hey, hey, de bop boppa, we're down
Hey, hey, mmm, de bop boppa say
Down, hey, hey, mmm be bop boppa, we're down
Hey, hey, ooh, bebop bop yeah
Yeah mmm, say down down, down, down, down
Hey down, down
Say down, down, down, down, down
