Imagine Dragons Chords & Tabs

Version: 5 Type: Tab

Demons Tab

   
Standard Tuning
I don't think it's very hard to play. You just need to decide for yourself the 
rhythm and it's easy enough to by listening to the song and maybe singing along. :)
I tend to have the capo wherever suits my voice. If you want a same pitch then I 
suggest putting the capo on the first fret.
The rhythm is really easy if you know the song
I usually play 2/3 (or anything with the / between it) as a slide or a hammer on, 
but slide sounds better. Has to be quick though.

Well done, you've learnt a song. Now go dazzle your friends with your talent :)

Lyrics: 

When the days are cold
 And the cards all fold
 And the saints we see
 Are all made of gold

 When your dreams all fail
 And the ones we hail
 Are the worst of all
 And the blood's run stale

 I wanna hide the truth
 I wanna shelter you
 But with the beast inside
 There's nowhere we can hide

 No matter what we breed
 We still are made of greed
 This is my kingdom come
 This is my kingdom come

 When you feel my heat
 Look into my eyes
 It's where my demons hide
 It's where my demons hide
 Don't get too close
 It's dark inside
 It's where my demons hide
 It's where my demons hide

 At the curtain’s call
 It's the last of all
 When the lights fade out
 All the sinners crawl

 So they dug your grave
 And the masquerade
 Will come calling out
 At the mess you've made

 Don't wanna let you down
 But I am hell bound
 Though this is all for you
 Don't wanna hide the truth

 No matter what we breed
 We still are made of greed
 This is my kingdom come
 This is my kingdom come

 When you feel my heat
 Look into my eyes
 It's where my demons hide
 It's where my demons hide
 Don't get too close
 It’s dark inside
 It's where my demons hide
 It's where my demons hide

 They say it's what you make
 I say it's up to fate
 It's woven in my soul
 I need to let you go

 Your eyes, they shine so bright
 I wanna save that light
 I can't escape this now
 Unless you show me how

 When you feel my heat
 Look into my eyes
 It's where my demons hide
 It's where my demons hide
 Don't get too close
 It's dark inside
 It's where my demons hide
 It's where my demons hide
