[Verse 1]
Bm                                                                                         Dsus4 D
I'm writin' a book on how to stay conscious when you drown
                                                                                    F#7
And if the words float up to the surface, I'll keep 'em down
                                                       Em
This is the first time I know I don't want the crown

You can take it now

Bm                                                                                                  Dsus4 D
      You promised the world and brought me it hangin' from a string
                                                                            F#7
Stuck it in my mouth, into my throat, told me to sing
                                                               Em
That was the first time I knew you can't kill the king

And those who kiss the ring

[Chorus]
Bm
Tell me how
                                 D
It's better when the sun goes down
                         F#7
We will never escape this town
                Em
I wasn't scared when he caught me, look what it taught me
Bm
Tell me how
                        D
It's better if I make no sound
                    F#7
I will never escape these doubts
              Em                                                                                Bm
I wasn't dead when they found me, watch as they pull me down

[Verse 2]
Bm                                                                                    D
I'm writing a chapter on what to do after they dig you up
                                                                                             F#m
On what to do after you grew to hate what you used to love

That was the first time I knew they were
Em
out for blood and they would have your guts

[Chorus]
Bm
Tell me how
                                 D
It's better when the sun goes down
                        F#m
We will never escape this town
                 Em
I wasn't scared when he caught me, look what it taught me
Bm
Tell me how
                        D
It's better if I make no sound
                     F#7
I will never escape these doubts
              Em
I wasn't dead when they found me, watch as they pull me down

[Instrumental]

Watch as they pull me down

Pulling me down
   Em
Dead when they found me, watch as they pull me down
Bm
Watch as they pull me down
D
Watch as they pull me down
F#m
Pulling me down
Em                                                                                   Bm
Dead when they found me, watch as they pull me down
