Burning Down

• Verse 1

Verse 1
Am*
  I guess you never know
C*
Someone you think you know
Dm*                                 Am*
Can't see the knife when you're too close, too close
Am*
It scars forever when
C*
Someone you called a friend
Dm*                           F*
Shows you the truth can be so cold, so cold

Pre-Chorus
             Am
I'd wipe the dirt off your name
         C
With the shirt off my back
               Am
I thought that you'd do the same
        F*
But you didn't do that (Yeah)

Chorus
C
Said I'm the one who's wanted
G   Am
For all the fires you started
F   C                  G       Am
You knew the house was burning down
Am
I had to get out
F   C
You led your saints and sinners
G   Am
And fed 'em lies for dinner
F        C                     G
You knew the house was burning down
         Am
And look at you now

Post-Chorus
Am
(Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
Am                          NC
(Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh) And look at you now

Verse 2
    Am
How do you sleep at night?
C
No one to hide behind
Dm                       Am
Betrayed every alibi you had, you had
    Am
You had every chance to make amends
C
Instead, you got drunk on bitterness
        Dm                                     F
And you still claim that you're innocent, it's sad
     F
That you

Chorus

Said I'm the one who's wanted
G   Am
For all the fires you started
F   C                  G       Am

Am
I had to get out
F   C
You led your saints and sinners
G   Am
And fed 'em lies for dinner
F        C                     G
You knew the house was burning down
Am
(And look at you now)

                      Dm   C
Used to tell me you'd pray for me
                     G
You were praying for my downfall
Am                 Dm    C
You were digging a grave for me
                    G    Am
We were sharing the same four walls
                      C
Used to tell me you'd pray for me
                        G
You were praying for my downfall
Am                 Dm
You were digging a grave for me
C                   G
We were sharing the same four walls
    G
And you
