Better Demons Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Em]Children so traumatized in the
first years of life
That they do not bond with other
people
They are children who
cannot love or accept love
Who could hurt or even kill
without remorse

[Interlude 1]
Could a great deal of this be demons?
[Em][C][G]
[Am][C][Em][C][G]
[Am][Bm][D][C][D][Em]

[Verse 2]
We both [C]know that there's a sea[G]son
[Am]A time and place to be
[C]lieve [Em]in
The stranger's gonna [C]come
and we both [G]need it
To [Asus2]give this up r[Am]ight now
[C][D]

[Verse 3]
And there's no [Dsus4]easy way to s[Em]ay
that we both [C]changed[D]
The life [Dsus4]we knew,
well it won't [Em]ever be the same
[C]

[Verse 4]
[Em]
I'm just holding on to my [C]better demons
And I [G]really need them [Asus2]not
[Am]to f[Bm]ail me[D] n[C]ow[D][Em]
I speak in tongues but I
can [C]never free them
And my [G]spirit weakens [Am]but I
[Bm]won't [D]back down
[C][D]

[Verse 5]
[Em]
No holy [C]ghost, no holy [G]spirit
I'm [Asus2]on my own ri[Am]ght now[C][Em]
Do the angels [C]sing if you
can't [G]hear them?
'Cause [Am]I don't hear a sound
[C]

[Verse 6]
[D]
[Dsus4]And there's no easy way to tell[D]
[Em]you that I'm gone
[C]

[Verse 7]
[Em]
I'm just holding on to my [C]better demons
And I [G]really need them [Am]not
[Bm]to fail me [C]now[D][Em]
I speak in tongues but I
can [C]never free them
And my [G]spirit weakens [Am]but I [Bm]won't [D]back

[Interlude 2]
down
[C][D][C][Am][C]
[Am][Bm][G][D][C]

[Verse 8]
Leave me [C]well away on the
[Am]clouds you [C]make
On my own I'll face down
all my en[Bm]emies
[Em][Am][Em]

[Verse 9]
I'm just holding
on to my [C]better demons
And I [G]really need them [Am]not to fail
[Bm]me now[C][D][Em]
I speak in tongues but I
can [C]never free them
And my [G]spirit weakens [Am]but
[Bm]I won't ba[D]ck down

[Verse 10]
[C]In [D]you[Em]r nightmare what happens?
[C]I g[G]et really scared
[Am]Where are you in the nightmare[Am]?
What hap[C]pens in the dream?
[Em]I'm in my house up[C]stairs[G]
And then what happens next?
[Am]And [C]then he comes upstairs and[Em], um
