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