Alec Benjamin - Let Me Down Slowly

[intro]
C#m  B  G#m  A

[verse 1]
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

[pre-chorus]
      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                 B
Let me down, down, let me down, down
                          G#m                   A
Let me down, let me down, down, let me down, down, 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

[verse 2]
C#m                  B
 Cold skin, drag my feet on the tile
G#m                       A
 As I'm walking down the corridor
C#m                     B
 And I know we haven't talked in a while
G#m                     A
 So I'm looking for an open door

[pre-chorus]
      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

          C#m                        B

             C#m                 B
Let me down, down, let me down, down
                          G#m                   A
Let me down, let me down, down, let me down, down, 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

[bridge]
            C#m               B       G#m A
And I can't stop myself from falling do-own
            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 do-own
            C#m               B       G#m A
And I can't stop myself from falling down

[chorus]
          C#m                        B
