[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
