 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. Am7 Never kept me up before, D Now I've been awake for days. Am7 I can't fight it anymore, D I'm going through an awkward phase. I am secretly in love with Everyone that I grew up with I do my crying underwater I can't get down any farther All my drowning friends can see Now there is no running from it It's become the crux of me I wish that I could rise above it Chorus: G But I stay down, D With my demons. G I stay down, D With my demons. Bats and buzzards in the sky Alligators in the sewers I don't even wonder why I hide among the younger viewers I huddle with them all night long The worried talk to God goes on I sincerely tried to love it I wish that I could rise above it Chorus: But I stay down with my demons I stay down with my demons I stay down with my demons I stay down 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 Do not think I'm going places D anymore, Em Wanna see the sun come up D above New York. Am7 Oh, everyday I start so great, D Then the sunlight dims. Am7 Less I've learned, the more I see D the pythons and the limbs. Am7 Do not know what's wrong with me, D Sours in the cup. Am7 When I walk into a room, D I do not light it up. Fuck. Chorus: So I stay down with my demons I stay down with my demons I stay down with my demons I stay down with my demons. | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsAm7  D  Em  G  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
