[Verse 1]
D
Lookin' out the window, out on the street
G Bm
I don't know what happened, I'm out on my feet
D
I hear my mother calling my name
G Bm
I still come running, but I ain't the same
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Em A Em A
You can change the channel, take the phone off the hook
Em A A5 Asus2 Asus4 A Asus4 A
Avoid the headlines, but you'll never grow up, baby, if you don't look
[Chorus]
G
When I saw him go down
Felt like somebody lied
D A
I had to hold my breath 'til the coast was clear
G
When I saw him go down
Felt like somebody lied
D A D
I had to close my eyes just to stop the tears
[Verse 2]
D
You're used to winning, how did it feel?
G Bm
Could you hear the screaming? It was unreal
D
What did they pay you, what did it cost?
G Bm
How long did it take you to know that you lost?
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Em A Em A
You can hit the showers, fill the place up with steam
Em A A5 Asus2 Asus4 A Asus4 A
Close the curtains, but when you woke up, man it wasn't no dream
[Chorus]
G
When I saw him go down
Felt like somebody lied
D A
I had to hold my breath 'til the coast was clear
G
When I saw him go down
Felt like somebody lied
D A
I had to close my eyes, close my eyes

Lookin' out the window out on the street

My boy and his mother

And I think of me

Feelin' the slip again

Don't wanna fall
You said it was nothing, but maybe you're wrong
[Chorus]

'Cause when I saw him go down
Felt like somebody lied
