[Verse 1]
G/A G/C G
I wasn't a fighter 'til somebody told me
G/A G/C G
I had better learn to lean into the punch
G/A G/C G
So I don't hurt as bad when they leave
G/A G/C G
There you were, turning your cheek
[Verse 2]
G/A G/C G
I look at you and you look at a screen
G/A G/C G
I'm in the back seat of my body
G/A G/C G
I'm just steering my life in the video game
G/A G/C G
Similar accent, a different name
G
It's a slow down
[Chorus]
C
So would you teach me I'm the villain
Aren't I, aren't I the one?
G
Constantly repenting for a difficult mind
C
Push me down into the water like a sinner
Em
Hold me under and I'll never come up again
G
I'll just stay down

[Chorus]
C
It's a half-life
It's a fallout
G C
It takes so long for me to settle down
Em G
And when I finally do there's no one else around
C
So I stay down
[Outro]
G
So I stay down
C
So I stay down
G
So I stay down
C
So I stay down
G
So I stay down

[Verse 1: Julien Baker]
Wasn't a fighter until somebody told me
I had better learn to lean into the punch
So it don't hurt as bad when they leave
There you were, turning your cheek
[Verse 2: Julien Baker]
I look at you and you look at a screen
I'm in the back seat of my body
I'm just steering my life in a video game -
Similar acts and a different name
[Refrain]
It's a slow down
[Verse 3: Julien Baker, Lucy Dacus, Phoebe Bridgers]
So would you teach me I'm the villain, aren't I?
Aren't I the one constantly repenting for a difficult mind?
Push me down into the water like a sinner, hold me under
And I'll never come up again
[Refrain]
I'll just stay down
[Bridge]
It's a half life, it's a fallout
It takes so long for me to settle down
And when I finally do, there's no one else around
[Refrain]
So I stay down
So I stay down
So I stay down
So I stay down
So I stay down
