[Intro]
D D G D A D D G D A
[Verse 1]
D D
Feels like I'm cursed when the drugs don't work
G D A
So I bought a statue of Jesus
D D
And listen to Abby's old high school demos
G D A
And smoked a bag of reefer
D D
I got bills coming up, debts still due
G D A
And I've got too much on my mind
D
To stay in the moment
D G D A
It's always blowing out the windows and into the night
[Chorus]
A
Stay behind me
Bm G
My one sweet Loraine
D A D G
Stay in the shadow of the tower that fell
A Bm G D
Build me a castle, Maria, I'd pray
A Bm G
Take these weeds outta my head
D G A D
When I'm barely living and almost dead
D D G D A
Yeah, yeah, yeah
D D G D A
Almost dead
[Verse 2]
D
I'm sick of getting lifted
D
Sick of going under
G D A
Tired of giving too much
D D
I've been down in a hole for so long
G D A
I don't know if any love could fill it back up
D D
I gotta move on and learn the times to be brave
G D A
Can't live in them old mistakes
D D
And I remember what TK said:
G D A
"You can't steer no boat by looking back at the wake"
[Chorus]
A
Stay behind me
Bm G
My one sweet Loraine

Stay in the shadow of the tower that fell
