Verse 1:
B minorBm
 I'm writing a book on

How to stay conscious when you drown
D MajorD
 And if the words float up to the surface

I'll put them down
F# minorF#m
  This is the first time I know
    E minorEm
I don't want to drown

You can take it now

Verse 2:
B minorBm
 You promised the world and

Brought me it hanging from a string
D MajorD
 Stuck it in my mouth

Until my throat told me to sing
F# minorF#m
  That was the first time I knew
     E minorEm
You can't kill the king

And as you kiss the ring


Chorus:
B minorBm
Tell me how
           D MajorD
It's better when the sun goes down
       F# minorF#m
We'll never escape this town
     E minorEm
I wasn't scared when you caught me

Look what it taught me
B minorBm
Tell me how
         D MajorD
It's better if I make no sound
       F# minorF#m
I'll never escape this arms
     E minorEm
I wasn't dead when you found me

Watch as they pull me down

Verse 3:
B minorBm
 I'm writing a chapter

On what to do after

To pick you up
D MajorD
 On what to do after
                 F# minorF#m
Because you hate what you used to want

That was the first time I knew
     E minorEm
They were out for blood

And they will have your guts


Chorus:
B minorBm
Tell me how
           D MajorD
It's better when the sun goes down
       F# minorF#m
We'll never escape this town
     E minorEm
I wasn't scared when you caught me

Look what it taught me
B minorBm
Tell me how
         D MajorD
It's better if I make no sound
       F# minorF#m
I'll never escape this arms
     E minorEm
I wasn't dead when you found me

Watch as they pull me down
