Intro:
D  G  D  G

(Verse 1)
D         G
Rotted away
     D                G
The ides out of your May
    D                 G
As far as falls from grace are placed
   D                   G
I guess you're graciously effaced

(Chorus)
     D                 G
But don't you let me down again
D                 G
Don't you let me down again
D                 G
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
          D                 G
For the guests to work

(Chorus)
     D                 G
But don't you let me down again
D                 G
Don't you let me down again
D                 G
Don't you let me down so gently

(Verse 3)
D              G
Wholly incomplete
    D             G
Or holy and complete?
D                 G             D   G
Don't I feel you when you weep?
      D             G                  D        G
But we're all just beads on the same string
D               G
Seemingly discreet
D             G       D       G
Tethered inextri---cably

(Bridge)
    D           G       D      G
No Eve ain't naive no more
    D           G       D      G
No Eve ain't naive no more
D    G    D   G      D             G
No you've no use to know you anymore

(Chorus)
     D                 G
But don't you let me down again
D                 G
Don't you let me down again
D                 G
Don't you let me down so gently
     D                 G
But don't you let me down again
D                 G
Don't you let me down again
D                 G
Don't you let me down so gently
