[Verse 1]
(G)When I think of you in the city

(D)Now I've been awake for days
(C)I can't fight it anymore
(D)I'm going through an awkward phase

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

[Chorus]
But I stay (G)down
With my (D)demons
I stay (G)down
With my (D)demons

[Verse 2]
(G)Passing buzzards in the sky
(D)Alligators in the sewers
(G)I don't even wonder why
(D)Hide among the under views
(C)Huddle with them all night long
(D)The worried talk to god goes on
(C)I sincerely tried to love her
(D)Wish that I could rise above her

[Chorus]
But I stay (G)down
With my (D)demons
I stay (G)down
With my (D)demons
I stay (C)down
With my (D)demons
I stay (C)down
With my (D)demons

[Verse 3]
(Em)Cannot stay here I can't sleep
(D)On the floor
(Em)Drink the blood and hang the palms
(D)On the door
(Em)Do not think I'm going places (D)anymore
(Em)Wanna see the sun come up (D)above New York
Oh, (Am)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*ck

[Chorus]
So I stay (Em)down
With my (D)demons
I stay (Em)down
With my (D)demons
I stay (Am)down
With my (D)demons
I stay (Am)down
With my (D)demons
