Intro: G D G D
G
When I think of you in the city,
D
The sight of you among the sites.
G
I get this sudden sinking feeling,
D
Of a man about to fly.
G/A
Never kept me up before,
D
Now I’ve been awake for days.
G/A
I can’t fight it anymore,
D
I’m going through an awkward phase.
G
I am secretly in love with,
D
Everyone that I grew up with.
G
Do my crying underwater,
D
I can’t get down any farther.
G/A
All my drowning friends can see,
D
Now there is no running from it.
G/A
It’s become the crux of me,
D
I wish that I could rise above it.
Chorus:
G
But I stay down,
D
With my demons.
G
But I stay down,
D
With my demons
G
Passing buzzards in the sky,
D
Alligators in the sewers.
G
I don’t even wonder why,
D
Hide among the unbelievers.
G/A
Huddle with them all night long,
D
The worried talk to god goes on.
G/A
I sincerely tried to love it,
D
Wish that I could rise above it.
G
But I stay down,
D
With my demons.
G
I stay down,
D
With my demons
G/A
I stay down,
D
With my demons.
G/A
I stay down,
D
With my demons
Em
Can I stay here? I can sleep
D
on the floor
Em
Paint the blood and hang the palms,
D
On the door.
Em D
Do not think I’m going places anymore,
Am D
Wanna see the sun come up above New York.
An
Oh, everyday I start so great,
D
Then the sunlight dips.
Am
Less I’ve learned,
D
The more I see the pythons and the limbs.
Am
Do not know what’s wrong with me,
D
Sours in the cup.
Am
When I walk into a room,
D
I do not light it up.
D
Fuck.
