Intro: C  Em  Am  F 
 
verse 1 
C 
I read your veins like lines on a map 
Em 
But I got no destination 
Am 
See the smoke and signals rise from my breath 
F 
And the flames are cold and patient 
Am                              Em                F 
I filled you with a wonderland born of my imagination 
F 
And go, I can't 
 
          C 
Cause my demons tied me down 
      Em                            Am 
With silk chains wrapped around my soul 
                         F 
It seems so obvious that I should put an end to this 
     C 
But demons take control 
      Em 
Like dark sins in my soul 
    Am                          F 
I know it seems so obvious that I should put an end to this 
F 
Oh, no, they're just demons 
 
verse 2 
C 
I'm pushing through the blood in you 
Em 
To heal where you've been hurting 
Am 
And I'm so numb, I don't feel it run 
F 
When it stains the walls around me 
Am                                     Em                F 
I filled the room with shades of you drawn in my imagination 
F 
And go, I can't 
 
          C 
Cause my demons tied me down 
      Em                            Am 
With silk chains wrapped around my soul 
                         F 
It seems so obvious that I should put an end to this 
     C 
But demons take control 
      Em 
Like dark sins in my soul 
    Am                          F 
I know it seems so obvious that I should put an end to this 
C                     Em      Am 
Oh, no, they're just demons 
              F 
They're just demons 
 
Bridge 
G             C   Em  Am    F 
They're just deeeeeeeeemons 
G             C   Em  Am    F 
They're just deeeeeeeeemons 
                G 
Staring up the road 
             C       G        Am 
Sick of the darkness and the cold 
F                        G 
The chains are wearing thin 
         C        Em     Am 
Oh, I'm fighting for us both 
F                   G 
I built this wonderland 
                 C      G    Am 
Drenched in the colours of your skin 
           F 
And... go, I can't 
 
          C 
Cause my demons tied me down 
     Em                      
But silk chains are broken now 
    Am                          F 
I know it seems so obvious that I should put an end to this 
     C 
But demons take control 
      Em 
Like dark sins in my soul 
    Am                          F 
I know it seems so obvious that I should put an end to this 
C                     Em      Am 
Oh, no, they're just demons 
              F 
They're just demons
