Lyrics and Chords
You got me running going out of my mind
You got me thinking me that I'm wasting my time

Don't bring me down
No, no, no, no, no, ooh ooh
I'll tell you once more before I get off the floor
Don't bring me down

You want to stay out with your fancy friends
I'm telling you it's gotta be the end

Don't bring me down, grroosss
Don't bring me down, grroosss
Don't bring me down, grroosss
Don't bring me down
/ F#m - A - / / / E - - - /
What happened to the girl I used to know
You let your mind out somewhere down the road
{Refrain}
You're always talkin' 'bout your crazy nights
One of these days you're gonna get it right
{Refrain, Bridge}
You're looking good just like a snake in the grass
One of these days you're gonna break your glass
{As refrain}
Don't bring me down
No no, no no, no no, no no, no, ooh ooh
I'll tell you once more before I get off the floor
Don't bring me down
You got me shaking, got me running away
You got me crawling up to you every day
{Refrain}
Down, down, down, down, down
I'll tell you once more before I get off the floor
Don't bring me down
{Thud}
Although many people hear the nonsense word in the bridge as the name Bruce, the lyrics that came printed on the original album say "grroosss". That may coome from the German "Grüss", greeting, but how it got in the song is anybody's guess.
