   C#m
My demons are begging me to open up my mouth
  C#m                              A           G#m
I need them mechanically make the words come out
     C#m
They fight me, vigorous and angry, watch them pounce
  C#m                                   A        G#m
Ignite me, lickin' up the flames they bring about

C#m
I sold my soul to a three-piece
And he told me I was holy
                          A
He's got me down on both knees
             G#m
But it's the devil that's trying to

Chorus:
C#m
Hold me down, hold me down
  E
Sneaking out the back door, make no sound
  A
Knock me out, knock me out
A                         G#m
Saying that I want more, this is what I live for
C#m
Hold me down, hold me down
   E
Throw me in the deep end, watch me drown
  A
Knock me out, knock me out
                          G#m
Saying that I want more, this is what I live for

Selfish
Taking what I want, and call it mine
I’m helpless
Clinging to a little bit of spine
They rush me
Telling me I’m running out of time
They shush me (Shh)
Walking me across a fragile line

I sold my soul to a three-piece
And he told me I was holy
He’s got me down on both knees
But it’s the devil that's tryna...

Chorus

C#m
Hold me down now

Hold me down now
          A G#m
Hold me down

C#m
I sold my soul to a three-piece
And he told me I was holy
                           A
He's got me down on both knees
             G#m
But it's the devil that's trying to

Chorus
