[Verse 1]

You take all I have to give

Can't say it's a shame it's all over

Tangled up in chain ain't no way to live, no

It's become all too familiar

And we've gotta be moving on

I've got nothing left to give you

No, no, no

[Chorus]

You're bringing me down

And if you wonder why I'm not around

You're bringing me down

Oh, down

[Verse 2]

In the dead of the night

When you're alone, don't come knocking

You can be sure this door won't open, no

I've gone away, gonna start anew

But to waste more time with you again

I'd be a fool, I'd be a fool

[Chorus]

You're bringing me down

And if you wonder why I'm not around

You're bringing me down

Oh, down

[Bridge]

Now I know what I'm looking for

Now I know what I'm looking for

And I bought that one-way ticket outbound

Left all the records that were mine for you to keep

I left a note by the bedpost

I hope you find all the answers that you seek

[Chorus]

Oh, you're bringing me down

And if you wonder why I'm not around

Oh, I'm on that one-way ticket outbound

I hope you find all the answers that you seek

[Outro]

Oh, you're bringing me down

You're bringing me down

Down

Oh, down
