Verse 1:
Bm                                                         Dsus4 D
I'm writin' a book on how to stay conscious when you drown
                                                          Gb7
And if the words float up to the surface, I'll keep 'em down
                                      Em
This is the first time I know I don't want the crown

You can take it now


Bm                                                              Dsus4 D
    You promised the world and brought me it hangin' from a string
                                                   Gb7
Stuck it in my mouth, into my throat, told me to sing
                                         Em
That was the first time I knew you can't kill the king

And those who kiss the ring

Chorus:
Bm
Tell me how
                     D
It's better when the sun goes down
                 Gb7
We will never escape this town
            Em
I wasn't scared when he caught me, look what it taught me
Bm
Tell me how
                 D
It's better if I make no sound
                Gb7
I will never escape these doubts
         Em                                                 Bm
I wasn't dead when they found me, watch as they pull me down

Verse 2:
Bm                                                        D
I'm writing a chapter on what to do after they dig you up
                                                           Gbm
On what to do after you grew to hate what you used to love

That was the first time I knew they were
Em
out for blood and they would have your guts

Chorus:
Bm
Tell me how
                      D
It's better when the sun goes down
                 Gbm
We will never escape this town
            Em
I wasn't scared when he caught me, look what it taught me
Bm
Tell me how
                   D
It's better if I make no sound
               Gb7
I will never escape these doubts
         Em
I wasn't dead when they found me, watch as they pull me down

Watch as they pull me down

Pulling me down

Dead when they found me, watch as they pull me down

   Watch as they pull me down

   Pulling me down
Em                                                  Bm

                                      Em
This is the first time I know I don't want the crown

You can take it now

You can take it now
