Old Demons

Cm           Fm           Cm 
Apathy was a game I never played 
       Cm          Fm               Cm         D 
'Cause agony was a feeling I'd been steeped in slow 
Cm              Fm           Cm 
Swapping all my smiles for a scowl 
    Cm            Fm                Cm    D      G 
And sheltering my shortcomings from every prying eye 


                    Ab         Gm 
But I'm letting the old demons out 
         Fm              G 
Bringing down the walls around 
          Ab           D-G-Cm 
All the denial and the doubt

           Cm                 Fm               Cm 
I won't be satisfied 'til the saccharine faces fade 
         Cm             Fm          Cm       D 
Making a mockery of mythologies and tried traditions 
Cm        Fm              Cm 
For I was blind now I can see 
      Cm                  Fm                Cm      D        G 
Every obstacle through soliloquy clears its path in front of me 


                    Ab         Gm 
But I'm letting the old demons out 
         Fm              G 
Bringing down the walls around 
          Ab           D-G-Cm 
All the denial and the doubt

And If I suddenly sink 
Gm     Fm             Gm 
Into a cowardly drink 
   Ab                   Gm 
To drown out the swarm 
       Ab                Gm 
of the hive minded bees 
Cm         Bb      Ab      Gm 
Strike the spirits from my rigid wrists 
    Fm      Gm                           Cm 
And pull me out of the tide I'm tumbling in

But I'm letting the old demons out 
         Fm              G 
Bringing down the walls around 
          Ab           Gm 
All the denial and the doubt 
      Fm            G 
Every painful plea aloud 
            Ab         Gm 
Kicking the old demons out 
         Fm              G 
Bringing down the walls around 
          Ab           D-G-Cm 
All the denial and the doubt
