  			F#m 
Sometimes they're in a bottle, 
D                              A D 
Sometimes a pair of high-heel shoes,  
F#m 
Some come rolled in paper 
D                      E 
Some have six strings and only play the blues 
F#m 
Once you've met the devil 
               D                 A 
There ain't no way he'll let you be 

When I'm not chasing demons, 
        E              A 
There's demons chasing me 

(repeat verse chords for all verses) 

Skeletons in closets 
Ghosts underneath the bed 
They hide out in pictures 
And words better left unsaid 
They hang around like perfume 
And haunt me like an ancient melody 
When I'm not chasing demons, 
There's demons chasing me 


         E 
There's things that I can't leave alone 
 D 
'Cause they won't leave me alone 
A                         D 
What I want ain't what I need 
      E 
Still I reach for the things I crave 
D 
Then try to run away 
A                    D 
Am I afraid of being free 
            F#m 
'Cause when I'm not chasing demons 
         D             C 
There's demons chasing me 

So roll one up and light it 
Pick up my old guitar 
I'm playing crossroads 
Drinking whiskey from a mason jar 
Heartache at my front door 
Says she needs my company 
When I'm not chasing demons 
There's demons chasing me 

(same chords for all chourses from previous chourses)  
  
There's things that I can't leave alone 
'Cause they won't leave me alone 
What I want ain't what I need 
Still I reach for the things I crave 
Then try to run away 
Am I afraid of being free 
'Cause when I'm not chasing demons 
There's demons chasing me 

When I'm not chasing demons 
There's demons chasing me
