I remember how your eyes used to light up
Over promises that I made
But for the first time in my life
I know now how it feels to be afraid
I don't know what I'd do if you go away
This would sure be one lonely old town
For a man's so busy going up in the world
That he couldn't see love coming down
Love coming down
I ɾemember all [Em]the times you [A7told me
Love's all [Em]that matters to [C7]you
And looking back now, wondering how I believed
I had things more important to [C7]do
I can see how I must have looked to [C7]you
Like some fool on [C7]a merry-go-round
And that a man's so busy going up in the world
That he couldn't see love going down
Love going down
Can't you [A7see how everything I've learned
Would just be [Am]wasted if you [A7leave me
If you [A7just give one more tɾy
I swear I'll always be [Am]here when you [A7need me
If you [A7can find it in your heart to [C7]forgive me
I'll tɾy to [C7]keep both my [A]feet on [C7]the ground
But if a man's so busy going up in the world
That he couldn't see love coming down
Love coming down
