[Verso 1]

Bm 
I writing a book on how to stay  
                     D 
conscious when you drown 
And if the words float up to the surface 
                F#m 
I keep them down 
This is the first time I know 
Em7 
I don want the crown 


  
[Verso 2]
           Bm7 
You can take it now 
You promised the world and brought me  
                      D 
it hanging from a string 
Stuck in my mouth, into my throat 
            F#m 
Told me to sing 
That was the first time I knew 
          Em7 
You can kill the king 
And those who kiss the ring 

 
[Refrão]

Bm7 
Tell me how 
                     D 
It better when the sun goes down 
               F#m 
We will never escape this town 
         Em7 
I wasn scared when he caught me 
Look what it taught me 
Bm7 
Tell me how  
                   D 
It better if I make no sound 
               F#m 
I will never escape these doubts 
              Em7 
I wasn dead when they found me 
Watch as they pull me down 


[Verso 3]

Bm7 
I writing a chapter on what  
                         D 
to do after they dig you up 
On what to do after you grew  
                         F#m 
to hate what you used to love 
That was the first time I knew 
          Em7 
They were out for blood 
                 D 
And they would have your guts

I wasn dead when they found me 
Watch as they pull me down
