Burning Down Chords

Lyrics & chords

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

[Pre-chorus 1]
I'd wipe the [Am]dirt off your name
with the [C]shirt off my back
I thought that [D]you'd do the same,
but you [F]didn't do that (you)

[Chorus 1]
Said [F]I'm [C]the one who's wanted
[G]for all[Am] the fires you started
[F]You kne[C]w the house was burning dow[G]n,
[Am]I had to get out
[F]You led[C] your saints and sinners,
[G]and fed[Am] 'em lies for dinner
[F]You kne[C]w the house was burning dow[G]n,
and look at you now
[Am]Ooh.[G]..[Am]

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

[Chorus 2]
Said [F]I'm [C]the one who's wanted
[G]for all[Am] the fires you started
[F]You kne[C]w the house was burning dow[G]n,
[Am]I had to get out
[F]You led[C] your saints and sinners,
[G]and fed[Am] 'em lies for dinner
[F]You kne[C]w the house was burning dow[G]n,
(and look at...)

[Bridge 1]
Used to tell me you'd [Dm]pray for [C]me
You were praying for my [G]down[Am]fall
You were digging a [Dm]grave for [C]me
We were sharing the [G]same [Am]four walls
Used to tell me you'd pray [Dm]for m[C]e
You were praying for my [G]down[Am]fall
You were digging a [Dm]grave for [C]me
We were sharing the [G]same four walls, and you

[Chorus 3]
[F]Said I'm the one[C] who's wanted
[G]for all the [Am]fires you started
[F]You kne[C]w the house was burning
[G]down, [Am]I had to get out
[F]You led[C] your saints and sinners,
[G]and fed[Am] 'em lies for dinner
[F]You kne[C]w the house was burning dow[G]n

[Bridge 2]
Used to tell me you'd [Dm]pray for [C]me
You were praying for my [G]down[Am]fall
You were digging a [Dm]grave for [C]me
We were sharing the [G]same [Am]four walls
Used to tell me you'd pray [Dm]for m[C]e
You were praying for my [G]down[Am]fall
You were digging a [Dm]grave for [C]me
We were sharing the [G]same four walls, and you
