(Verse 1)
D G
Rotted away
D G
The ides out of your May
DG
As far as falls from grace are placed

I guess you're graciously effaced
(Chorus)

But don't you let me down again
DG
Don't you let me down again
DG
Don't you let me down so gently
(Verse 2)
D G
The wine was mine to serve
D G
To dribble on your skirts
D G
The napkin dab is a task best left
DG
For the guests to work
(Chorus)
DG
But don't you let me down again
DG
Don't you let me down again
DG
Don't you let me down so gently
(Verse 3)

Wholly incomplete
D G
Or holy and complete?
DG D G
Don't I feel you when you weep?
D GD G
But we're all just beads on the same string
D G
Seemingly discreet
D G D G
Tethered inextri---cably

No Eve ain't naive no more

No you've no use to know you anymore

Don't you let me down again

Don't you let me down again
DG
Don't you let me down so gently
