1. When I think of you in the city, the sight of you among the sites,
G D
I get this sudden sinking
feeling of a man about to fly.
Am D
Never kept me up before, now
I've been awake for days,
Am
D
I can't fight it anymore, I'm going through an awkward phase.
G
D
2. I am secretly in love with everyone that I grew up with,
G D
do my
crying underwater I can't get down any farther.
Am D
All my drowning friends can
see, now there is no running from it,
Am D
it's
become the crux of me, I wish that I could rise above it.
G D
But I stay down with my demons,
G D
I stay down with my demons,
G D
3. Passing buzzards in the sky, alligators in the sewers,
G
D
I don't even wonder why hide
among the under views.
Am D
Huddle with them all night
long the worried talk to god goes on,
Am D
I sincerely tried to love her,
wish that I could rise above her.
G D
But I stay down with my demons,
G D
I stay down with my demons,
Am D
I stay down with my demons,
Am D
I stay down with my demons.
Em D
4. Cannot stay here, I can't sleep on the floor,
Em D
drink
the blood and hang the palms on the door.
Em C D
Do not think I'm going places
anymore,
Em C D
wanna see the sun come up above New York.
Am D
5. Oh, every day I start so great, then the sunlight dims,
Am D
less
I've learned the more I see the pythons and the limbs.
Am D
Do not know what's wrong with
me, sours in the cup,
Am D
when
I walk into a room I do not light it up, f*ck.
Em
D
So I stay down with my demons,
Em D
I stay down with my demons.
Am D
I stay down with my demons,
Am D
I stay down with my demons.
