[Intro]
Em Bm Am Em G Bm D G
[Verse 1]
Em
Sometimes they're in a bottle
C G
Sometimes a pair of high heal shoes
EM
Some come rolled in paper
C D
Some have six strings and only play the blues
Em
Once you meet the devil
C G C
There's no way he'll let you be
Em
When I'm not chasing demons
C G
There's demons chasing me
[Verse 2]
Em
Skeletons in closets
C G
Ghost underneath the bed
Em
They hide out in pictures
C D
And in words better left unsaid
Em
They hang around like perfume
C G C
And haunt me like an ancient melody
Em
When I'm not chasing demons
C G
There's demons chasing me
[Chorus]
D
There's things I can’t leave alone
Am
'Cause they won't leave me alone
G C
What I want ain't what I need
D
Still I reach for the things I crave
Am
Better try to runaway
G C
Maybe I'm afraid of being free
Em
When I'm not chasing demons
C G
There's demons chasing me
[Verse 3]
Em
So roll one up and light it
C G
Pickup my old guitar
Em
I'm playing crossroads
C D
Drinkin' whiskey from a mason jar
Em
There's heartache at my front door
C G C
Says she needs my company
Em
When I'm not chasing demons
C G
There's demons chasing me
[Chorus]
D
There's things I can’t leave alone
Am
'Cause they won't leave me alone
G C
What I want ain't what I need
D
Still I reach for the things I crave
Am
Better try to runaway
G C G Am
Maybe I'm afraid of being free (you tell me)
G
When I'm not chasing demons
C G
There's demons chasing me
Em
When I'm not chasing demons
C G
There's demons chasing me
