Chords

[Intro] Em D - G C B7 [Verse 1]
           Am7          Em7
Running around chasing hearts,

  D/F#  G                 D
chasing bodies to fix the parts.

   G/B       Am7              Em7
I don't know how I reached this place,

   D/F#     G                    D
so far from heaven, so far from grace.
[Pre-Chorus]
G/B  Am
Am I wrong to give in to the pressure,

                       Em
'cause I feel like the city's got the better of me.

D/F#     G                         D
Oh, this casual love isn't what it seems,

G/B   Am
and I try to imagine something closer

        Em
and somebody who is good for me

 D      C
I'm so tired of all this searching,

B7
Do I, do I, do I, do I?
[Chorus]
 C          G           D/F#       Em   D
Go home to nothing or stay out for more?

 C          G          D/F#        Em  D
Give in to someone or lock down my door?

     C            Em       D                Am7  Bm
Or drown all my shadows, drown them like before?

     C          B7           Em   D - G   C   B7
I'm drowning shadows once more.
[Verse 2]
             Am7              Em7
The more I drink, the more I drown,

   D/F#    G                     D
If I'm not thinking, I won't get down.

     G/B   Am7          Em7
The more I rise above it all,

    D/F#   G              D
The less I care about the fall.
[Pre-Chorus]
G/B  Am
Am I wrong to give in to the pressure,

                        Em
'cause I feel like the city's got the better of me.

D/F#     G                         D
Oh, this casual love isn't what it seems,

G/B   Am
and I try to imagine something closer

         Em
and somebody who is good for me

 D      C
I'm so tired of all this searching,

B7
Do I, do I, do I, do I?
[Chorus]
 C          G           D/F#       Em   D
Go home to nothing or stay out for more?

 C          G          D/F#        Em  D
Give in to someone or lock down my door?

     C          Em       D                Am7  Bm
Or drown all my shadows, drown them like before?

   C             B7       Em   D - G   C   B7
I'm drowning shadows once more.

       Em   D - G   C   B7
Once more.

       Em   F  C  C - B7
Once more.
[Chorus]
 C          G           D/F#       Em   D
Go home to nothing or stay out for more?

 C          G          B7
Give in to someone or lock down my door?

     C            Em       D                Am7  Bm
Or drown all my shadows, drown them like before?

  C          B7       Am7    Em
Drowning shadows once more.
