Capo 1
Verse 1
E C#m
Broke down at the end of the night
A
Can't seem to get anything right
E
So numb I can't feel things anymore
B
Somehow could feel me letting go
A B
I know there's so many things
E C#m
That I need to do and I need to say
A E
No matter how hard I try
B
I can't get the words out right
Chorus
E
Man down, tie a ribbon around my soul
C#m A
I'm in the black and I'm out of control
B
Like a ship that's lost in the night
A B
With no direction or guiding light
Man down and I'm drowning in the pain
Face down like a needle in the vein
You're the only thing that keeps me sane
But somehow I can't keep you out of my rain
E C#m A
I see you standing in the rain
Verse 2
The lights in the city feel so bright
All these colors I've got inside
And in these streets I feel like a foreigner
All I paint is myself in a corner
Going on seems to hurt so much
All the world seems so cold to the touch
When I go to sleep I don't dream
I just see a blank television screen
Chorus
Verse 3
Tie a ribbon for the child in me
On every door and on every tree
Make it black for the way that I feel
'Cause black is the only color that's real
Chorus- Starting at the Second Stanza ( Man Down and I'm drowning in the Pain)
Outro ( Verse 1)
Broke down at the end of the night
Can't seem to get anything right
