[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

Em

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
