CHVRCHES - How Not To Drown (feat. Robert Smith): chords

      Bm
I'm writing a book on how to stay conscious
           D
when you drown
And if the words float up to the surface,
               F#m7
I'll keep them down
This is the first time I know
         Em
I don't want the crown, you can take it now

You promised the world and brought me it
hangin' from a string
Stuck it in my mouth, into my throat,
told me to sing
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#m
We'll never escape this town
          Em
I wasn't scared when you caught me,
look what it taught me
Bm
Tell me how
                  D
It's better if I make no sound
             F#m
I'll never escape these dens
          Em
I wasn't dead when you found me,
watch as they pull me down

I'm writing a chapter on what to
do after they dig you up
On what to do after you grew to hate
 what you used to love
That was the first time I knew they
were out for blood
And they would have your guts

Chorus

Bm
Watch as they pull me down
D
Watch as they pull me down
F#m7
Pulling me down
Em
Dead when they found me watch as they pull me down

Watch as they pull me down
Watch as they pull me down
Pulling me down
Dead when they found me, watch as they pull me down

I'm writing a book on how to
stay conscious when you drown
And if the words float up to the surface,
I'll keep them down
This is the first time I know
I don't want the crown
You can take it now (You can take it now)
You can take it now (You can take it now)
Take it now (Take it now)
