   G
1. 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.
   
2. I am secretly in love with,
   Everyone that I grew up with.
   Do my crying underwater,
   I can't get down any farther.
   All my drowning friends can see,
   Now there is no running from it.
   It's become the crux of me,
   I wish that I could rise above it.

              G
R: But I stay down,
           D
   With my demons.
          G
   I stay down,
           D
   With my demons.

3. Passing buzzards in the sky,
   Alligators in the sewers.
   I don't even wonder why,
   Hide among the under views.
   Huddle with them all night long,
   The worried talk to god goes on.
   I sincerely tried to love it,
   Wish that I could rise above it.

              G
R: 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.
   I stay down,
   With my demons.

4. Can I stay here? I can sleep
   D
   On the floor
   Em
   Paint 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
   Fuck.

             Em
R: 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.
