Intro 1

Verse 1
G 
Guess I've been doin' alright,
C 
G 
I've been playin' it easy
Slow days and early nights,
D 
just me and the TV
G 
Everything's been frozen
C 
G 
since you went away
Sometimes I get to thinkin'
D 
G 
it's better this way
When the hammer falls down
C 
and I can't keep on pretendin'
G 
When the hammer pounds a nail
D 
into my heart
G 
There's a place to run
C 
and every step is down
G 
D 
Baby, since you've
G 
C 
G 
D 
gone
G 
From time to time you call me up
C 
G 
on some far away telephone
You tell me you just need some time
D 
but I can tell you're not alone
G 
And don't believe me
C 
when I say I'm doing fine
G 
I wish that you could see me
D 
G 
on the other side of the line
When the hammer falls down
C 
and I can't keep on pretending
G 
When the hammer pounds a nail
D 
into my heart
G 
There's a place to run
C 
and every step is down
G 
D 
G 
C 
G 
Baby, since you've gone
When the hammer falls down,
C 
then I can't keep on pretending
G 
When the hammer pounds a nail
D 
into my heart
G 
There's a place to run,
C 
and every step is down
G
