Claws in Your Back Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Am][G][F][Dm]

[Verse 1]
[Am]Collecting the circl[G]es that tell us
How [F]old we are be[Dm]neath our eyelids
[Am]Wearing a purp[G]le badge
to [F]prove what I did
Pump the [Dm]vitals out of my [Am]wrist
'Cause I'm con[G]ducting
an ex[F]periment on [Dm]how it feels to

[Bridge 1]
[Am](die)[G][F][Dm]
Or stay a[Am]live[G][F][Dm]

[Verse 2]
[Am]So try to stay calm,[G]
'cause nobody [F]knows
The violent [Dm]partner you carry a[Am]round
With claws in your [G]back,
ripping your [F]clothes
And listing your [Dm]failures out loud
[Am]It's more than the skele[G]ton
next to my [F]coat
The black that I [Dm]held in the back of my [Am]throat
Follows you [G]straight into the [F]dark
The easy way [Dm]out and the hardest

[Pre-chorus 1]
[Dm](part)
When it won't [F]leave me [Dm]alone
I'm better off [F]learning

[Chorus 1]
How to be
[C]Living with dem[Am]ons
I've mis[F]taken for [C]saints
If you keep it bet[Am]ween us
I [F]think they're the [C]same
I think I [Am]can love
The [F]sickness you [C]made
'Cause I take it all [Am]back,
I change my [F]mind
I wanted to [C]stay[Am]
I [F]wanted to [C]stay
[Am][F]
