           A
I've been running around town
Feeling up and down
                     B
Taped up the windows at the house
             E 
But I ain’t dead yet
               A
Would you even pick me out in the crowd?
'Cause I can't recognize myself now
                  B
And I'm turning away help
        E 
Can you pull me out?

Chorus:
           A
I've been down
           B   E 
I've been down

You say there's no stupid questions
Only stupid people
Well, I've been feeling pretty foolish
Trying to get myself through this
And I've been watching too much TV
Looking up at the ceiling
It's been making me feel creepy
I'm just trying to shake this feeling

Chorus:
           A
I've been down
           B   E 
I've been down
           A
I've been down
(Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, baby)
                    B
Can you help me out?
                                    E 
(Come on, come on, come on, come on)

C#m  A                 B
I'm waking up at night, tiktok, killing time
    E 
A little moonlight coming through the blinds
C#m             A                B
The love of my life sleeping by my side
 E 
But I'm still down

             C#m         A
I think that we need to come together
              B           E 
I think that we need to come together
(You know I'm down)
             C#m         A
I think that we need to come together
              B           E 
I think that we need to come together
(You know I'm down)

Chorus:
I've been down
I've been down
I've been down
Can you help me out?
I feel down
(Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, baby)
I feel down
(Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, honey)
I feel down
(Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, baby)
Can you help me out?
(Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, honey)
