[Verse 1]Fm
I think I might
disappear
C#
I’m not needed
here
Can you hear me
clearly
G#
Guess it’s just
not my year
D#
Why’d I work
so hard
To feel this
lonely

[Pre-Chorus]Fm
If nothing means
anything anyway
C#
I’ll lay in bed
and daydream
G#
Maybe I’ll get
dressed on a
better day
D#
When I’m feeling
up to feeling
anything
[Chorus]Fm
I’m sick of
going under
C#
Brace for impact,
run for cover
G#
War in my head
for days on end
D#
And nobody cares
to notice that
Fm
I’ve been dead
behind
C#
The eyes as long
as I remember
G#
And I’m going
down
D#
I’m going down
I’m goin’ down
[Drop]FmC#G#D#
I’m going down

I’m going down
How to play Going Down: key, chords and progression
Going Down by Fells & SOUNDR is in the key of F minor (four flats: B♭, E♭, A♭, D♭). The song uses 4 chords: Fm, C#, G# and D#.
The progression the song keeps returning to is Fm – C# – G# – D# (i – VI – III – VII in F minor), the epic minor progression (i–VI–III–VII) used in many anthems. Learn these 4 changes first and most of the song falls into place.
Easier on guitar: put a capo on the 1st fret and play the shapes Em, C, G, D (100% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 0% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
