[D]
[G]
[D]
[G] When I think of you instead, [D] I sigh to your own decide.
[G] Get the sudden sinking feeling,
[D] of a man about to fly.
[Am]
Never [A] kept me up before, [D] now I've been awake for days.
[Am] I can't fight it anymore, [A] I'm [D] 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 further.
[Am] All my drowning friends [Em] can see, [D] now there is no running from.
[Am] It's become a [A] crook's reed, [D] and I wish that I could rise above it.
But I [G] stay down, with my [D]
hinge.
I stay [G]
down, with [D] my boots.
[G] Bats and buzzards in the sky, [D] alligators in the sewers.
[G] I don't even wonder why, [D] I hide above the younger kids.
[Am] Huddle with them all [A] night long, [D] the worried talk to God goes on.
[Am] I sincerely tried to love [D] it, wish that I could rise above it.
But I [G] stay down, with my [D]
hinge.
I stay [G]
down, with my [D] ding.
I [Am] stay down, with [D] my ding.
I [Am] stay down, with [D] my ding.
[Em] Can I stay here, I can sleep [D] on the floor.
[Em] Paint the blood and hang the [E] paws on the [D] door.
Do [Em] not think I'm going [D] places anymore.
[Em]
Wanna see the sun come up [D] above New York.
[A] Oh, [Am] everyday starts so [D] great, then the sun's at the end.
[Am] The sun, the moon, the water, I [D] see the pythons in the land.
[Am] Do not know what's wrong with [D] me, so I'll drink a cup.
[Am] When I walk into a [C] room, [D] I do not let it all in.
So I [Em] stay down, [C] with [D] my hinge.
I stay [Em] down, with my [D]
ding.
I stay [Am]
down, with my [D] ding.
I [Am] stay down, with [D] my ding.
I stay down, with my ding.
[Em] [E]
