Intro: G D G D

GWhen I think of you in the city,
DThe sight of you among the sites.
GI get this sudden sinking feeling,
DOf a man about to fly.
G/ANever kept me up before,
DNow I’ve been awake for days.
G/AI can’t fight it anymore,
D                I’m going through an awkward phase.
GI am secretly in love with,
DEveryone that I grew up with.
GDo my crying underwater,
DI can’t get down any farther.
G/AAll my drowning friends can see,
DNow there is no running from it.
G/AIt’s become the crux of me,
DI wish that I could rise above it.

Chorus:
             GBut I stay down,
           DWith my demons.
            GBut I stay down,
           DWith my demons


GPassing buzzards in the sky,
DAlligators in the sewers.
GI don’t even wonder why,
DHide among the unbelievers.
G/AHuddle with them all night long,
DThe worried talk to god goes on.
G/AI sincerely tried to love it,
DWish that I could rise above it.


            GBut I stay down,
            DWith my demons.
         GI stay down,
          DWith my demons
        G/AI stay down,
          DWith my demons.
         G/AI stay down,
           DWith my demons


EmCan I stay here? I can sleep
Don the floor
EmPaint the blood and hang the palms,
DOn the door.
Em                              DDo 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,
DThen the sunlight dips.
AmLess I’ve learned,
                     DThe more I see the pythons and the limbs.
AmDo not know what’s wrong with me,
DSours in the cup.
AmWhen I walk into a room,
DI do not light it up.
DFuck.
