      [Intro]
D    G D A x2

[Verse 1]
D
Feels like I'm cursed when the drugs don't work
G             D          A
So I bought a statue of Jesus
D
And listen to Abby's old high school demos
     G       D      A
And smoked a bag of reefer
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
                            G           D        A      D
It's always blowing out the windows and into the night


[Chorus]
D       A
Stay behind...
Bm               G     D
My own sweet Lorraine
            A             D          G      D
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
G     D     A
Yeah, yeah, yeah
       D       G D A
Almost dead


[Verse 2]
D
I'm sick of getting lifted, Sick of going under
G        D          A
Tired of giving too much
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
I gotta move on and learn the times to be brave
      G            D      A
Can't live in them old mistakes
D
And I remember what TK said:
                    G               D            A
"You can't steer no boat by looking back at the wake"

[Chorus]
D     A
Stay behind me
Bm               G       D
My own sweet Lorraine
             A            D          G       D
Stay in the shadow of the tower that fell
               A       Bm         G       D
And build me a castle, Maria, I'd pray
        A                Bm       G
Way up high and outta my head
         D       G         A       D
When I'm barely living and almost dead
G     D      A
Yeah, yeah, yeah
       D      G D A
Almost dead

[Chorus]
D       A
Stay behind...
Bm               G     D
My own sweet Lorraine
            A             D          G      D
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
G     D     A
Yeah, yeah, yeah
       D       G D A
Almost dead
