The National - Demons: chords

     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.
