Down To Zero chords
Joan Armatrading

Capo 1

[D/A]
F#m E A 2x

Oh, the feeling, when you’re reeling;
you step lightly thinking you’re number one
Down to zero with a word, leaving, for another one
Now you won’t put you’re feet back on the ground;
Down to the ground, down to the ground
Down to the ground, down to the ground[D/A]

Brand new dandy, first class scene stealer;
walks through the crowd and takes your man
Sends you rushing to the mirror,
brush your eyebrows and say,
there’s more beauty in you than anyone

Oh, remember who walked the warm sand beside you;
moored to your heel let the waves come rushing in
She took the worry from your head;
but then again,
she put trouble in your heart instead,
and you fall;
down to the ground, down to the ground

You’ll know heartache,
Still more crying, when you’re thinking of your mother’s only son
Take to your bed,

you say there’s peace in sleep,

but you dream of love instead
Oh, the heartache you’ll find,
Can bring more pain than a blistering sun

But oh when you fall;
oh when you fall,
fall at my door

Oh, the feeling, when you’re reeling;
you step lightly thinking you’re number one
Down to zero with a word, leaving, for another one
Now you won’t put you’re feet back on the ground;
Down to the ground, down to the ground
Down to the ground, down to the ground[D/A]

You’ll know heartache,
Still more crying, when you’re thinking of your mother’s only son
Take to your bed,

you say there’s peace in sleep,
but you dream of love instead

But oh when you fall
oh when you fall,
fall at my door

Standard Tuning

INTRO: D Dsus2 A Bm

Sinking
Caught up in a whirling motion
Such a strange sensation
The currents uncertain
Like sails of a mill
I spin
Like wheels I move in a circle
While you stand on the bank
Immune or evasive
Throw me a lifeline
Save me…

Intimacy and affection
Frozen
In this game of chance
I forfeit
Full hand of love
With no counters
Like a moth

With no flame
To persuade me
Like blood in the rain
Running thin
While you stand on the inside
Looking in
Save me…

Inside looking in
Complete in yourself
Throw me a lifeline
Save me...

Looking in

Inside looking in
Complete in yourself
Throw me a lifeline
Save me…

Stand on the bank
Immune or evasive

Throw me a lifeline
Save me...

Stand on the bank
Immune or evasive
Throw me a lifeline
Save me

Save me…
