The Bringdown Chords

   
Bob Schneider - The Bringdown
from his album Lovely Creatures (2009)
as interpreted by AMG (amga.co)

After like a decade of utilizing this site, this is my first tab I've made with the
intent of posting.  I was very surprised no one else had worked this one out yet, but I'm
glad to contribute something!  Please let me know if you interpret the song differently! 
 This is the long, drawn-out version; I'm sure the details can be improved and I'm not
working out the solo or outro right now.  The whole song is muted, you'll have to listen 
to it to figure out the subtleties.

Lyrics and Song Progression

(Intro)

(Verse 1)
        Turn the corner
        right into the hail
        Think we oughta
        set sail
        Shoot for the shoreline
        Fall into the hole
        Watch your back
        and let go

(Pre-Chorus 1)
        It's like a whisper
        never makes a sound
        Come hold me

(Chorus)
        Bring the bringdown
        Bring the bringdown, Baby

(Verse 2)
        Running up
        beside of a wall
        It's just an invitation
        to fall
        Risky business
        A game for fools
        Bend your heart
        Break the rules

(Pre-Chorus 2)
        Never know when
        it'll come around
        Come hold me

(Chorus)

(Middle-8)
        Your smile
        is a beautiful place
        Take me with you
        I wanna go there
        Your love
        What a beautiful waste
        I take it with me
        wherever I go

(bridge)

(Verse 3)
        Take the air
        that I breathe
        Take away the world
     at my feet
        Take these wooden
        hands of desire
        Throw it all
        into your fire

(Pre-Chorus 3)
        The Devil's wings
        Misery's gone
        I come home

(Chorus)

(Chorus)

repeat chorus and fade out out.
