VerseA
When the night winds rustle the far away leaves
EA
Rolling down the Conna valley through the cottonwood trees
A
And a white river rises with last season's rains
EA
I awake in the darkness and I call your name
ChorusD
Don't back down on our love
A
Don't back down on our love
E
Don't back down on our love
A
Don't back down
D
Baby, don't back down on our love
A
Don't back down on our love
E
Don't back down on our love
A
Don't back down
Verse
I lie awake and I know that sleep won't come soon
EA
So I watch the headlights crawl up and down the wall of the lonesome room
Think of that club by the river where we danced on and on
EA
We swore our love would last forever and you laughed on and on
ChorusD
Don't back down on our love
A
Don't back down on our love
E
Don't back down on our love
A
Don't back down
BridgeDA
Yeah, come on, I wanna weep but I'm broke inside and the tears won't run
EA
I want to sleep but there ain't no dream and the sleep won't come

A / D / A / D / A / E / AA
Last night I stood on Black Mountain and looked out to the sea
DA
Where the waters of Mystery River go rushing endlessly
DA
And the love we swore would last as long as the waters roared on
EA
I awoke in the darkness, it was gone, gone, gone
OutroD

Baby don't back down
