      [Intro]
D  D  G D A  D  D  G D A

[Verse 1]
D                              D
Feels like I'm cursed when the drugs don't work
     G        D          A
So I bought a statue of Jesus
    D                    D
And listen to Abby's old high school demos
     G       D       A
And smoked a bag of reefer
      D                D
I got bills coming up, debts still due
             G        D     A
And I've got too much on my mind
   D
To stay in the moment
            D               G            D        A
It's always blowing out the windows and into the night

[Chorus]
     A
Stay behind me
 Bm          G
My one sweet Loraine
D           A             D         G
Stay in the shadow of the tower that fell
           A       Bm         G    D
Build me a castle, Maria, I'd pray
           A              Bm    G
Take these weeds outta my head
         D       G          A      D
When I'm barely living and almost dead
D  D  G     D      A
      Yeah, yeah, yeah
       D    D  G D A
Almost dead

[Verse 2]
    D
I'm sick of getting lifted
D
Sick of going under
G        D          A
Tired of giving too much
D                   D
I've been down in a hole for so long
        G                      D            A
I don't know if any love could fill it back up
             D                            D
I gotta move on and learn the times to be brave
      G            D       A
Can't live in them old mistakes
      D                D
And I remember what TK said:
                    G               D           A
"You can't steer no boat by looking back at the wake"

[Chorus]
     A
Stay behind me
 Bm          G
My one sweet Loraine
D           A             D         G
Stay in the shadow of the tower that fell
           A       Bm         G    D
Build me a castle, Maria, I'd pray
           A              Bm    G
Take these weeds outta my head
         D       G          A      D
When I'm barely living and almost dead
D  D  G     D      A
      Yeah, yeah, yeah
       D    D  G D A
Almost dead

[Chorus]
     A
Stay behind me
 Bm          G
My one sweet Loraine
D           A             D         G
Stay in the shadow of the tower that fell
           A       Bm         G    D
Build me a castle, Maria, I'd pray
           A              Bm    G
Take these weeds outta my head
         D       G          A      D
When I'm barely living and almost dead
D  D  G           D      A
      Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
       D    D  G D A
Almost dead
