[Verse 1]
  G/A      G/C          G*
I wasn't a fighter 'til somebody told me

  G/A        G/C           G*
I had better learn to lean into the punch

     G/A           G/C           G*
So I don't hurt as bad when they leave

G/A             G/C          G*
There you were, turning your cheek
[Verse 2]
  G/A             G/C           G*
I look at you and you look at a screen

           G/A       G/C   G*
I'm in the back seat of my body

         G/A         G/C         G*
I'm just steering my life in the video game

G/A     G/C       G*
Similar accent, a different name

       G*
It's a slow down
[Chorus]
             C
So would you teach me I'm the villain
Aren't I, aren't I the one?
G
Constantly repenting for a difficult mind

        C
Push me down into the water like a sinner

                       Em
Hold me under and I'll never come up again

G
I'll just stay down

[Chorus]
       C
It's a half-life
It's a fallout
         G                        C
It takes so long for me to settle down

                              Em          G
And when I finally do there's no one else around

          C
So I stay down
[Outro]
          G
So I stay down

          C
So I stay down

          G
So I stay down

          C
So I stay down

          G
So I stay down
