Intro: G D [Verse 1]
G
When I think of you in the city

D
The sight of you among the sites

G
I get this sudden sinking feeling

D
Of a man about to fly

C
Never kept me up before

D
Now I've been awake for days

C
I can't fight it anymore

D
I'm going through an awkward phase

G
I am secretly in love with

D
Everyone that I grew up with

G
Do my crying underwater

D
I can't get down any farther

C
All my drowning friends can see

D
Now there is no running from it

C
It's become the crux of me

D
I wish that I could rise above it
[Chorus]
           G
But I stay down

        D
With my demons

       G
I stay down

        D
With my demons
[Verse 2]
G
Passing buzzards in the sky

D
Alligators in the sewers

G
I don't even wonder why

D
Hide among the under views

C
Huddle with them all night long

D
The worried talk to god goes on

C
I sincerely tried to love her

D
Wish that I could rise above her
[Chorus]
           G
But I stay down

        D
With my demons

       G
I stay down

        D
With my demons

       C
I stay down

        D
With my demons

       C
I stay down

        D
With my demons
[Verse 3]
Em
Cannot stay here I can't sleep

D
On the floor

Em
Drink the blood and hang the palms

D
On the door

Em                            D
Do not think I'm going places anymore

Em                        D
Wanna see the sun come up above New York

    Am
Oh, everyday I start so great

D
Then the sunlight dims

Am
Less I've learned

D
The more I see the pythons and the limbs

Am
Do not know what's wrong with me

D
Sours in the cup

Am
When I walk into a room

D
I do not light it up
F*ck [Chorus]
          Em
So I stay down

        D
With my demons

       Em
I stay down

        D
With my demons

       Am
I stay down

        D
With my demons

       Am
I stay down

        D
With my demons
