[Verse 1]
Bm
  I'm writing a book on how to stay conscious when you drown
Dadd9
 And if the words float up to the surface, I'll keep them down
F#m7
   This is the first time I know
        Emadd9
I don't want the crown, you can take it now


[Verse 2]
Bm
  You promised the world and brought me it hanging from a string
Dadd9
 Stuck it in my mouth, into my throat, told me to sing
F#m7
   That was the first time I knew
          Emadd9
you can't kill the king and those who kiss the ring


[Chorus]
Bm
Tell me how
                     Dadd9
It's better when the sun goes down
              F#m
We'll never escape this town
         Emadd9          Em         Emadd9       Em
I wasn't scared when you caught me, look what it taught me
Bm
Tell me how
                 Dadd9
It's better if I make no sound
             F#m
I'll never escape these dens
         Emadd9        Em        Emadd9        Em
I wasn't dead when you found me, watch as they pull me down


[Verse 3]
Bm
  I'm writing a chapter on what to do after they dig you up
Dadd9                                                  F#m
 On what to do after you grew to hate what you used to love
                                         Emadd9
That was the first time I knew they were out for blood

And they would have your guts


[Chorus]
Bm
Tell me how
                     Dadd9
It's better when the sun goes down
              F#m
We'll never escape this town
         Emadd9          Em         Emadd9       Em
I wasn't scared when you caught me, look what it taught me
Bm
Tell me how
                 Dadd9
It's better if I make no sound
             F#m
I'll never escape this arms
         Emadd9        Em        Emadd9        Em
I wasn't dead when you found me, watch as they pull me down
