Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Am][G][F][F]

[Verse 1]
There's [Am]no way out of an a[G]ngry crowd
without [F]steppin' on some toes
[Am]They'll scream your name
'til the [G]lights go out
then they'll [F]feed you to the wolves
It's [Am]hard to say who [G]you'll be
when they let [F]those big red curtains close
You [Am]know this 'cause you [G]told me [F]so

[Pre-chorus 1]
I bet you [Am]forgot black heels
in the summertime
[G]Dad's bad cookin' though, you'd be polite
[F]Honey, now you got a look
that I don't recognize

[Chorus 1]
You pulled me aside and you said
[C]To know me is to hate me
Is to hate what I've [F]become
It's to watch me as I'm fallin'
From that ladder's last [Am]rung
It's to feel it like a [G]secret you can't keep in
I'm [F]not the way I was

[Interlude 1]
I'm not the way I was
[Am][C][G][F][F]

[Verse 2]
Were you [Am]freed within
did you [G]leave your skin?
Are you [F]tethered in your doubt?
Have you [Am]breathed it in
'til it's [G]medicine that you [F]cannot live without?
'Cause you [Am]came back home a fuckin' [G]alien
and we're [F]stuck here on the ground
Call your [Am]mom back, kid
[G]before the high com[F]es down

[Pre-chorus 2]
'Cause you [Am]forgot black heels
in the summertime
[G]Dirt road smoking on a Friday night
[F]Honey, now you got a look
that I don't recognize

[Chorus 2]
You pulled me aside and you said
[C]To know me is to hate me
Is to hate what I've [F]become
It's to watch me as I'm fallin'
From that ladder's last [Am]rung
It's to feel it like a [G]secret you can't keep in
I'm [F]not the way I was
I'm not the way I was
[C]But to feel it, to see it
The look in all their [F]eyes
Is to breathe in, to be in
The good grace of that [Am]Godlight
It's to have it in [G]your hands
The one thing you wanted [F]all your life

[Bridge 1]
It's all mine
[C]It's a hole I can't fill
It's a curse I can't [F]break
And I gave my soul to it
And I cannot [G]be re[Am]claimed
I was younger [G]then
I was younger [F]then

[Chorus 3]
I was young
[C]To know me is to hate me
Is to hate what I've [F]become
It's to watch me as I'm fallin'
From that ladder's last [Am]rung
It's to feel it like a [G]secret you can't keep in
I'm [F]not the way I was
I'm not the way I was
[C]But to feel it, to see it
The look in all their [F]eyes
Is to breathe in, to be in
The good grace of that [Am]Godlight
It's to have it in [G]your hands
The one thing you wanted [F]all your life

[Outro 1]
It's all mine
[C]But to feel it, to see it
The look in all their eyes
[F]Is to breathe in, to be in
The good grace of that Godlight
[Am]It's to have it in your [G]hands
The one thing you wanted all
[F]my life
It's all mine
