Drowning Shadows

Sam Smith


Tom: Em

Em   D - G   C   B7  


[Verse]

           Am7          Em7
Running around chasing hearts,
  D      G                 D
chasing bodies to fix the parts.
   G          Am7              Em7
I don't know how I reached this place,
    D        G                    D
so far from heaven, so far from grace.


[Pre-Chorus]

G      Am
And I want to give in to the pressure,
                        Em
'cause I feel like the city's got the better of me.
D         G                         D
Oh, this casual love isn't what it seems,
G       Am     
and I try to imagine something closer
         Em
and somebody who is good for me
 D      C  
I'm so tired of all this searching,
B7
Do I, do I, do I, do I?


[Chorus]

 C          G           D           Em   D
Go home to nothing or stay out for more?
 C          G          D            Em  D
Give in to someone or lock down my door?
     C            Em       D                Am7  B5
Or drown all my shadows, drown them like before?
     G          B7           Em   D - G   C   B7  
I'm drowning shadows once more.


[Verse 2]

             Am7              Em7
The more I drink, the more I drown,
   D         G                    D
If I'm not thinking, I won't lay down.
     G      Am7          Em7 
The more I rise above it all,
     D      G              D               
The less I care about the fall.


[Pre-Chorus]

G      Am
And I want to give in to the pressure,
                        Em
'cause I feel like the city's got the better of me.
D         G                         D
Oh, this casual love isn't what it seems,
G       Am     
and I try to imagine something closer
         Em
and somebody who is good for me
 D      C  
I'm so tired of all this searching,
B7
Do I, do I, do I, do I?


[Chorus]

 C          G           D           Em   D
Go home to nothing or stay out for more?
 C          G          D            Em  D
Give in to someone or lock down my door?
     C            Em       D                Am7  B5
Or drown all my shadows, drown them like before?
     G          B7           Em   D - G   C   B7 
I'm drowning shadows once more.
       Em   D - G   C   B7  
Once more.
       Em   F - C   B7  
Once more.


[Chorus]

 C          G           D           Em   D
Go home to nothing or stay out for more?
 C          G          B7         
Give in to someone or lock down my door?
     C            Em       D                Am7  B5
Or drown all my shadows, drown them like before?
  G          B7           Am7
Drowning shadows once more.
