Dmaj7          A           E6/G#
You were right, I'll move on
                     Dmaj7
But my lungs feel so small
                  A      E6/G#
I couldn't breathe if I tried
Dmaj7        A         E6/G#
I lay my head on the floor
                         Dmaj7
My beating heart wanted more
                   A             E6/G#
But I'll keep it in and keep you out

Dmaj7    A            E6/G#
I'm drowning, I'm drowning
Dmaj7    A            E6/G#
I'm drowning, I'm drowning

And for the longest time I knew
There was nothing left for us to do
But I tried, oh, I try
And in this quiet company
There is nothing staring back at me
I'm in need of a sound

Chorus:
 D             F#m
Hungry for the kill
          A               D
But this hunger it isn't you
 D         F#m                  A                 D
Voices disappear when you are speaking in sombre tunes
D             F#m                    A                      D
I will be the wolf and when you're starving you'll need it too
 D             F#m
Hungry for the kill
          A              D
But this hunger it isn't you
It isn't you, it isn't

I grew tall to fill the void
Let me go, 'cause you are just a shade
Of what I am, not what I'll be
But in this quiet company
I forget sometimes just how to breathe
Fill my lungs with a sound

Chorus:
Hungry for the kill
But this hunger, it isn't you
Voices disappear
When you are speaking in somber tunes
I will be the wolf
And when you're starving, you'll need it too
Hungry for the kill
But this hunger, it isn't you
It isn't you
It isn't

I'm drowning, I'm drowning
I'm drowning, I'm drowning
I'm drowning, I'm drowning
I'm drowning, I'm drowning
I'm drowning, I'm drowning
