F  
Raindrops on the treetops 
F 
Waiting there to fall  
F 
I know how they're feeling  
        C             Bb           F  
But I'm only, yes I'm only halfway down  
F 
Fighting with the devil 
F 
Harder all the time 
F 
Sinking to his level 
        C             Bb           F    
But I'm only, yes I'm only halfway down  


[Refrão]
F                            Bb 
Halfway down, just a getting started 
Bb                               F 
Yes, I'm beginning on my journey now 
         C                   F 
But I've only gotten halfway down 
                                Bb 
Halfway down, just a little bit farther 
Bb                                   F 
Well, I believe you better catch me now  
           C                  F  
'Cause I'm only going halfway down  
 
 
Sippin' shallow water 
Sharks out for the kill 
Almost hittin' bottom 
But I'm only, yes I'm only halfway down  
 
 
Chorus
