  G/A       G/C          G
I wasn't a fighter 'til somebody told me
  G/A         G/C          G
I had better learn to lean into the punch
     G/A           G/C            G
So I don't hurt as bad when they leave
G/A              G/C           G
There you were, turning your cheek

I look at you and you look at a screen
I'm in the back seat of my body
I'm just steering my life in a video game -
Similar acts and a different name

         G
It's a slow down

Chorus:
               C
So would you teach me I'm the villain
Aren't I, aren't I the one?
G
Constantly repenting for a difficult mind
         C
Push me down into the water like a sinner
                       Em
Hold me under and I'll never come up again

G
I'll just stay down

Chorus:
        C
It's a half-life
It's a fallout
          G                        C
It takes so long for me to settle down
                              Em            G
And when I finally do there's no one else around
           C
So I stay down

           G
So I stay down
           C
So I stay down
           G
So I stay down
           C
So I stay down
           G
So I stay down
