It's always blowing out the Gwindows and Dinto the AnightD  
[Chorus]
DStay behAind...

[Intro]

D G D A

[Verse 1]

Feels like I'm cursed when the drugs don't work

G D A

So I bought a statue of Jesus

And listen to Abby's old high school demos

G D A

And smoked a bag of reefer

I got bills coming up, debts still due

G D A

And I've got too much on my mind

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]

I'm sick of getting lifted, Sick of going under

G D A

Tired of giving too much

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

I gotta move on and learn the times to be brave

G D A

Can't live in them old mistakes

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
