How Not To Drown

≣≣
Tone: [Bm]
Verse 1:
[Bm]I'm writin' a book on how to
stay conscious when you drown [Dsus4] [D]
And if the words float up to the surface, I'll keep 'em do[Gb7]down
This is the first time I know I don't [Em]want the crown
 
You can take it now
 
 
[Bm] You promised the world and
brought me it hangin' from a stri[Dsus4]string [D]
Stuck it in my mouth, into my throat, told me to si[Gb7]sing
That was the first time I knew you can't [Em]kill the king
 
And those who kiss the ring
 
Chorus:
[Bm]Tell me how
It's better when the [D]sun goes down
We will never esc[Gb7]escape this town
I wasn't sca[Em]scared when he caught me, look what it taught me
[Bm]Tell me how
It's better if I [D]make no sound
I will never esc[Gb7]escape these doubts
I wasn't [Em]dead when they found me, watch as they pull me down[Bm]down
 
Verse 2:
[Bm]I'm writing a chapter on what to do after they dig you up [D]
On what to do after you grew to hate what you used to love [Gbm]
 
That was the first time I knew they were
[Em]out for blood and they would have your guts
 
Chorus:
[Bm]Tell me how
It's better when the s[D]sun goes down
We will never esc[Gbm]escape this town
I wasn't sca[Em]scared when he caught me, look what it taught me
[Bm]Tell me how
It's better if I ma[D]make no sound
I will never es[Gb7]escape these doubts
I wasn't [Em]dead when they found me, watch as they pull me down
 
Instrumental:
[Bm] [D] [Gb7] [Em] [Bm]
 
Bridge:
[Bm]Watch as they pull me down [D]
Watch as they pull me down[Gbm]down
 
Pulling me down
De[Em]Dead when they found me, watch as they pull me down
[Bm] Watch as they pull me down
[D] Watch as they pull me down
[Gbm] Pulling me down
[Em]Dead when they found me, watch as they pull me down [Bm]
 
Instrumental:
[Bm] [D] [Gb7] [Em] [Bm]
 
Outro:
[Bm]I'm writing a book on how to stay conscious when you drown
[D]And if the words float up to the surface, I'll keep them d[Gbm]down
This is the first time I know I don't [Em]want the crown
[Em]You can take it now
[Bm]You can take it now
[D]Take it now
