Em   Bm   Am  Em   G   Bm  D  G
[Verse 1]
EmSometimes they're in a bottle
CSometimes a pair of high heal sGhoes
EMSome come rolled in paper
CSome have six strings and oDnly play the blues 
EmOnce you meet the devil
CThere's no way he'll let you GbeC  
EmWhen I'm not chasing demons
CThere's demons chasing Gme
[Verse 2]
EmSkeletons in closets
CGhost underneath the Gbed
EmThey hide out in pictures
CAnd in words beDtter left unsaid
EmThey hang around like perfume
CAnd haunt me like an ancient GmelodyC  
EmWhen I'm not chasing demons
CThere's demons chasing Gme
[Chorus]
There's tDhings I can’t leave alone
Am'Cause they won't leave me alone
GWhat I want ain't what I nCeed
Still I Dreach for the things I crave
AmBetter try to runaway
GMaybe I'm afraid of being fCree
EmWhen I'm not chasing demons
CThere's demons chasing Gme
[Verse 3]
EmSo roll one up and light it
CPickup my old guGitar
EmI'm playing crossroads
CDrinkin' whiskey fDrom a mason jar
EmThere's heartache at my front door
CSays she needs my coGmpanyC  
EmWhen I'm not chasing demons
CThere's demons chasing Gme
[Chorus]
There's thDings I can’t leave alone
Am'Cause they won't leave me alone
