C#m            B
This night is cold in the kingdom
G#m             A
I can feel you fade away
C#m                      B
From the kitchen to the bathroom sink and
G#m              A
Your steps keep me awake

       C#m                        B
Don't cut me down, throw me out, leave me here to waste
  G#m                  A
I once was a man with dignity and grace
         C#m                                 B
Now I'm slipping through the cracks of your cold embrace
     G#m         A
So please, please

Chorus:
           C#m                        B
Could you find a way to let me down slowly?
          G#m                      A
A little sympathy, I hope you can show me
        C#m                      B
If you wanna go then I'll be so lonely
           G#m                       A
If you're leaving baby let me down slowly
              C#m
Let me down, down
Let me down, down
 B
Let me down, let me down
 G#m
Down, let me down, down
 A
Let me down
        C#m                      B
If you wanna go then I'll be so lonely
           G#m                       A
If you're leaving baby let me down slowly

Cold skin, drag my feet on the tile
As I'm walking down the corridor
And I know we haven't talked in a while
So I'm looking for an open door

Don't cut me down, throw me out, leave me here to waste
I once was a man with dignity and grace
Now I'm slipping through the cracks of your cold embrace
So please, please

Chorus

              C#m             B      G#m  A
And I can't stop myself from falling     down
              C#m             B      G#m  A
And I can't stop myself from falling     down
              C#m             B      G#m  A
And I can't stop myself from falling     down
              C#m             B      G#m  A
And I can't stop myself from falling     down

Chorus:
Could you find a way to let me down slowly?
A little sympathy, I hope you can show me
If you wanna go, then I'll be so lonely
If you're leaving, baby let me down slowly
Let me down, down
Let me down, down
Let me down, let me down
Down, let me down, down
Let me down
If you wanna go, then I'll be so lonely
If you're leaving, baby let me down slowly
If you wanna go, then I'll be so lonely
If you're leaving, baby let me down slowly
