Intro: G D 

Verse 1:
 
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 
C 
Never kept me up before 
D 
Now I've been awake for days 
C 
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 
C 
All my drowning friends can see 
D 
Now there is no running from it 
C 
It's become the crux of me 
D 
I wish that I could rise above it 


           G 
But I stay down 
        D 
With my demons 
       G 
I stay down 
        D 
With my demons 



Verse 2:
 
G 
Passing buzzards in the sky 
D 
Alligators in the sewers 
G 
I don't even wonder why 
D 
Hide among the under views 
C 
Huddle with them all night long 
D 
The worried talk to god goes on 
C 
I sincerely tried to love her 
D 
Wish that I could rise above her 


           G 
But I stay down 
        D 
With my demons 
       G 
I stay down 
        D 
With my demons 
       C 
I stay down 
        D 
With my demons 
       C 
I stay down 
        D 
With my demons 


Verse 3:
 
Em 
Cannot stay here I can't sleep 
D 
On the floor 
Em 
Drink the blood and hang the palms 
D 
On the door 
Em                            D 
Do not think I'm going places anymore 
Em                        D 
Wanna see the sun come up above New York 
    Am 
Oh, everyday I start so great 
D 
Then the sunlight dims 
Am 
Less I've learned 
D 
The more I see the pythons 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 
F*ck 


          Em 
So I stay down 
        D 
With my demons 
       Em 
I stay down 
        D 
With my demons 
       Am 
I stay down 
        D 
With my demons 
       Am 
I stay down 
        D 
With my demons
