Verse 1:
Bm
  I'm writing a book on

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

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

You can take it now


Verse 2:
Bm
  You promised the world and

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

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

And as you kiss the ring


Chorus:
Bm
Tell me how
                     D
It's better when the sun goes down
              F#m
We'll never escape this town
         Em
I wasn't scared when you caught me

Look what it taught me
Bm
Tell me how
                 D
It's better if I make no sound
             F#m
I'll never escape this arms
         Em
I wasn't dead when you found me

Watch as they pull me down


Verse 3:
Bm
  I'm writing a chapter

On what to do after

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

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

And they will have your guts


Chorus:
Bm
Tell me how
                     D
It's better when the sun goes down
              F#m
We'll never escape this town
         Em
I wasn't scared when you caught me

Look what it taught me
Bm
Tell me how
                 D
It's better if I make no sound
             F#m
I'll never escape this arms
         Em
I wasn't dead when you found me

Watch as they pull me down

 Watch as they pull me down

Watch as they pull me down
