[Verse]
A                   
Kennedy got it in a Lincoln
D                  A
Caesar got it the back
                               E
Somebody told me Hank Williams died in his Cadillac
A
Everybody's gotta go sometime
D                              A
Sooner or later they call your name
D                               A
I don't know where yet, but I'm willing to bet that
    E             A
I'm going down in flames


[Chorus]
        F#m             A
Down in flames, Down in flames
         D                       A
When the good times end and they count my sins
    E             A
I'm going down in flames


[Verse]
A
James Dean bought it on the highway
D                     A
Marilyn found it in a pill
                                  E
Elvis died – or did he? – they're looking for him still
A
Some go soft and quiet
D                  A
Some go out with a bang
          D                    A
Well it's way too late for the pearly gates
    E             A
I'm going down in flames


[Chorus]
        F#m             A
Down in flames, Down in flames
         D                       A
When the good times end and they count my sins
    E             A
I'm going down in flames


[Bridge 1]
       D           A
Add up all my misbehaving
        D                 E
And I'm past the point of saving
        A
How can wrong feel so right?
                           D
Some things you just can't change…
                         A
What's it to you? HALLELUJAH!
    E             A
I'm going down in flames


[Solo]
A  D  A  E  A  D  A D  A  E  A


[Bridge 2]
       D           A
Add up all my misbehaving
        D                 E
And I'm past the point of saving
A                                                     D
Even in this noisy barroom I can hear that long black train
                    A           E             A
I already bought my ticket, I'm going down in flames


[Outro]
        F#m             A
Down in flames, Down in flames
D                   A           E             A
I already bought my ticket, I'm going down in flames
        F#m             A
Down in flames, Down in flames
         D                       A
When the good times end and they count my sins
    E             A
I'm going down in flames
