Chords

** The chord that sounded right for this song apparently doesn't exist so I had to use c#6, but it's not actually that chord. It is played like the D chord but on the 1st fret (see below) :)**
[Intro]
       A       C#6*        F#m         D
A|-----0--------0----------0-----------0----------------------------------------|
E|-----0--------1----------2-----------2----------------------------------------|
C|-----1--------1----------1-----------2----------------------------------------|
G|-----2--------1----------2-----------2----------------------------------------|
[Verse 1]
A                   C#6*
 I don't know how to be with myself

F#m
 Colors aren't as bright as they used to be

D
 Forget the girl they wanted me to be

A                       C#6*
 And I don't know how to be okay

    F#m
The audience in my head looking up at me

   D
Pretending just for them because they need me
[Pre- Chorus]
A         C#6*
 I'm human, and I'm falling

F#m               D
  But you tell me I'm flying

A
 But it's building

C#6*
  And I can't breathe

F#m                        D
Wanna feel the way that I used to be
[Chorus]
  A
And so I go out

           C#6*
Get fucked up so that

D                             Dm
Weirdly I can feel like a kid again

        A
And the lights are like magic

          C#6*
Nothing's wrong
Twisted, traumatic
    D
And then the morning comes

              Dm
And it's bad again

A              Dm
Dancing in the lion's den

A              Dm
Dancing in the lion's den
[Verse 2]
  A
And I guess we're all just tryna work it out

      C#6*
Tryna get back to our child self

F#m
Chasing the feeling, finding the meaning

    D
But just continuing to corrupt ourselves

    A
And I still remember how it all felt

    C#6*
The sun on my skin an ice cream will melt

    F#m
And now I'm at parties, stay past 3 A.M

        D
And I'm smoking too much just to feel it again
[Pre-Chorus]
A                   C#6*
 But I'm human, and I'm falling

F#m               D
  But you tell me I'm flying

A
 But it's building

C#6*
  And I can't breathe

F#m                        D
Wanna feel the way that I used to be
[Chorus]
 A
And so I go out

           C#6*
Get fucked up so that

D                             Dm
Weirdly I can feel like a kid again

        A
And the lights are like magic

          C#6*
Nothing's wrong
Twisted, traumatic
    D
And then the morning comes

              Dm
And it's bad again

A              Dm
Dancing in the lion's den

A              Dm
Dancing in the lion's den

A              Dm
Dancing in the lion's den

A              Dm
Dancing in the lion's den

A              Dm
Dancing in the lion's den

A              Dm
Dancing in the lion's den
