[B]
I'm writing a book on how to stay conscious [D] of who you trust
done
don't want [Em] the crime
You promised the world that I'm not being hanged [D] on a string
When was the first time I knew [Em] you could feel the pain
Tell me how it's better [D] when the sun goes down
stay this time
I'm writing a book on how to stay conscious [D] of who you trust
done
don't want [Em] the crime
You promised the world that I'm not being hanged [D] on a string
When was the first time I knew [Em] you could feel the pain
Tell me how it's better [D] when the sun goes down
stay this time

_ _ You promised the world that I'm not being hanged [D] on a string
_ Stuck it in my back, losing my throat's [F#] all I'm missing
_ When was the first time I knew [Em] you could feel the pain
And this is hearing

We'll [F#m] never stay _ this time
I [Em] wasn't scared when I knew partly the water saw me
[Bm]
Tell me how it's better [D] if I made no sun
I will never [F#m]
escape _ this time
I [Em] wasn't dead when they found me
Once there's no calling [Bm]
back
_ Imagine in chapter what you do after you [D] do you wrong
And what you do after you couldn't hit what you [F#] used to run
_ When was the first time I knew they [Em] were out for blood
And [D] they would have your guts

Remember to stay conscious
