[Verse 1]
Bm                                                         Dsus4 D
I'm writin' a book on how to stay conscious when you drown
                                                          F#7
And if the words float up to the surface, I'll keep 'em down
                                      Em
This is the first time I know I don't want the crown
 
You can take it now
 
Bm                                                              Dsus4 D
    You promised the world and brought me it hangin' from a string
                                                   F#7
Stuck it in my mouth, into my throat, told me to sing
                                         Em
That was the first time I knew you can't kill the king
 
And those who kiss the ring
 
[Chorus]
Bm
Tell me how
                     D
It's better when the sun goes down
                 F#7
We will never escape this town
            Em
I wasn't scared when he caught me, look what it taught me
Bm
Tell me how
                 D
It's better if I make no sound
                F#7
I will never escape these doubts
         Em                                                 Bm
I wasn't dead when they found me, watch as they pull me down
 
[Verse 2]
Bm                                                        D
I'm writing a chapter on what to do after they dig you up
                                                           F#m
On what to do after you grew to hate what you used to love
 
That was the first time I knew they were
Em
out for blood and they would have your guts
 
[Chorus]
Bm
Tell me how
                      D
It's better when the sun goes down
                 F#m
We will never escape this town
            Em
I wasn't scared when he caught me, look what it taught me
Bm
Tell me how
                   D
It's better if I make no sound
               F#7
I will never escape these doubts
         Em
I wasn't dead when they found me, watch as they pull me down
