The Drowning Years Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

F♯mThis is the C♯mlife of a F♯mwoman with C♯mdemons

F♯mThe first time we C♯mmet I was F♯msure she was C♯msteaming

DmThis is my life, Dmthis is my life

What a lifeF♯m C♯m F♯m C♯m

F♯mLife isn’t C♯mprecious and F♯mlife isn’t C♯msacred

F♯mSometimes C♯mrelease only F♯mcomes when you C♯mmeet death

DmA night of reprieve we were Dmwrecked

when we slept in the F♯mpark C♯m F♯m C♯m

DmWhen we woke in the morning you Dmcried

could I squeeze out the Amdark Em F G

AmDestroy the Emnoises that Fmake all the Gvoices

AmGet them Emout of my Fhead G

AmBring on the Emscreaming and FI’ll take your Gdemons

Amnow that I’m Emalready Fdead Em

[same as verse above]

Days of release when she almost felt better

Gradually faded and words couldn’t get her

Where is the light, where is the light, get the light

Fearless and clear all her doubts had been cast off

Last night alive is a nightmare I’m part of

Dreams are a lie, dreams are a lie

So am I

If that’s all there is then I might as well get in the fire

[same as chorus]

Destroy the noises that make all the voices

Get them out of my head

Bring on the screaming and I’ll take your demons now that I’m already dead

Oh how the rights of the righteous kept coming

Shining before like the day

I stand before them and cried that you’re dying your way

F♯mI’m still not C♯msure if the F♯mright and the C♯mwrong side is F♯mone C♯m F♯m
