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 Instrumental: Bm D Gb7 Em Bm Bridge: Bm D Watch as they pull me down Gbm Watch as they pull me down Pulling me down Em Dead when they found me, watch as they pull me down Bm Watch as they pull me down D Watch as they pull me down Gbm Pulling me down Em Bm Dead when they found me, watch as they pull me down Instrumental: Bm D Gb7 Em Bm Outro: Bm I'm writing a book on how to stay conscious when you drown D Gbm And if the words float up to the surface, I'll keep them down Em This is the first time I know I don't want the crown Em You can take it now Bm You can take it now D Take it now Outro: Gbm Em Bm
