Guitar chords with lyrics

NO CAPO

Verse I:
        Am
Running round,
      Em
Chasing hearts,
F#/D    G
Chasing bodies,
           D
To fix the part
  Em         Am               Em
I don?t know how I reached this place,
F#/D    G
So far from heaven,
            D
so far from grace

Pre-Chorus:
Em    Am
And I run to give in to the precipice,
                       Em
?cause I feel like the city?s got the better of me,
F#/D     G
Oh, this casual love,
              D
Isn?t what it seems.
Em    Am
And I try to imagine something closer,
        Em
And somebody who is good for me,
       C
I?m so tired of all this searching,
B7
Do I, do I, do I, do I

Chorus:
C          G
go home to nothing?
    D           Em   D
Or stay out for more?
C          G
Give in to someone?
   D             Em   D
Or knock down my door?
   C            Em
Or drown all my shadows,
D                 Am   B/C  C
Drown them like before,
                  *B7  *B7 *B7 *B7 *B7 *single loud strum then pause
I'm Drowning shado---ws,
  Em     D   C
once more

Verse II:
         Am
The more I drink,
           Em
The more I drown,
   F#/D    G
If I'm not thinking,
           D
I wont get down
    Em     Am            Em
The more I rise above it all,
    F#/D G
The less I care,
      D
about the fall

Pre-Chorus:
Em   Am
am I wrong to give in to the precipice,
                Em
I feel like the city?s got the better of me,
F#/D     G
Oh, this casual love,
              D
Isn?t what it seems.
Em    Am
And I try to imagine something closer,
        Em
And somebody who is good for me,
       C
I?m so tired of all this searching,
B7
Do I, do I, do I, do I

Chorus:
C          G
go home to nothing?
    D           Em   D
Or stay out for more?
C          G
Give in to someone?
   D             Em   D
Or knock down my door?
   C            Em
Or drown all my shadows,
D                 Am   B/C  C
Drown them like before,
                *B7  *B7 *B7 *B7 *B7
I'm Drowning shadows,
  Em     D   C
once more
  Em     D   C
once more
  Em     D   C
once more

C          G
go home to nothing?
    D           Em   D
Or stay out for more?
C          G
Give in to someone?
   B7
Or lock down my door?
   C            Em
Or drown all my shadows,
D                 Am   B/C  C
Drown them like before,
                 B7
I'm Drowning shadows,
     C    Em
