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:
But I stay do[G]wn,
With my dem[D]ons.
But I stay d[G]own,
With my dem[D]ons
[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.
But I stay d[G]own,
With my demo[D]ns.
I stay do[G]wn,
With my de[D]mons
I stay d[G/A]own,
With my de[D]mons.
I stay do[G/A]wn,
With my dem[D]ons
[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 an[D]ymore,
[Am]Wanna see the sun come u[D]p above New York.
Oh, every[An]day I start so great,
[D]Then the sunlight dips.
[Am]Less I've learned,
The more I see the py[D]thons 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]f**k.
