🎸 Old Demons chords by The Dear Hunter

Cm Fm Cm Ab G

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

(Solo)
Cm D G Cm Fm Gm Fm Gm

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

Cm

Fm
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

(Solo)
Cm D G Cm Fm Gm Fm Gm

Ab     Gm
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
