[Verse 1] Am I'm writing a book on How to stay conscious when you drown C And if the words float up to the surface I'll put them down Em This is the first time I know Dm I don't want to drown You can take it now [Verse 2] Am You promised the world and Brought me it hanging from a string C Stuck it in my mouth Until my throat told me to sing Em That was the first time I knew Dm You can't kill the king And as you kiss the ring [Chorus] Am Tell me how C It's better when the sun goes down Em We'll never escape this town Dm I wasn't scared when you caught me Look what it taught me Am Tell me how C It's better if I make no sound Em I'll never escape this arms Dm I wasn't dead when you found me Watch as they pull me down [Verse 3] Am I'm writing a chapter On what to do after To pick you up C On what to do after Em Because you hate what you used to want That was the first time I knew Dm They were out for blood And they will have your guts [Chorus] Am Tell me how C It's better when the sun goes down Em We'll never escape this town Dm I wasn't scared when you caught me Look what it taught me Am Tell me how C It's better if I make no sound Em I'll never escape this arms Dm I wasn't dead when you found me Watch as they pull me down [Interlude] Am Am C C Em Em Dm Dm [Bridge] Am Watch as they pull me down C Watch as they pull me down Em Pulling me down Dm Dead when they found me Watch as they pull me down Am Watch as they pull me down C Watch as they pull me down Em Pulling me down Dm Dead when they found me Watch as they pull me down [Interlude] Am Am C C Em Em Dm Dm [Verse 4] Am I'm writing a book on How to stay conscious when you drown C And if the words float up to the surface I'll put them down Em This is the first time I know Dm I don't want to drown You can take it now Am You can take it now C Em Dm Take it, take it [Outro] Am Am C C Em Em Dm Dm Am
