(C)I swing from high to deep
Ex(F)tremes of (G)sweet and sour
(C)Hope that God exists
I (F)hope I (G)pray

(C)Drawn by the under tow
My (F)life is outa' con(G)trol
I (C)believe this wave will bear my weight
So (F)let it (G)flow

Oh sit (C)down
Oh sit down
Oh sit down
(F)Sit down next to (G)me
Sit (C)down down down down d(F)own in sympa(G)thy

Now I relieved to hear
That you've been to some far out places
It's hard to carry on
When you feel all alone

The wisdom that I seek
Has been found in the strangest places
Feels a lot like love
That I feel for you

Now I've swung back down again
And it's worse than it was before
If I hadn't seen such riches
I could live with being poor

Oh sit down
Oh sit down
Oh sit down
Sit down next to me
Sit down down down down down in sympathy

Those who feel a breath of sadness
Sit down next to me
Those who find they're touched by madness
Sit down next to me
Those who find themselves ridiculous
In love in fear in hate in tears
In love in fear in hate in tears
In love in fear in hate in tears
In love in fear in hate

Oh sit down
Oh sit down
Oh sit down
Sit down next to me
Sit down down in sympathy.
