Recorded by Alex Warren
Album:  (2024)

(Capo on 1)

(Intro.)
None

(Verse 1)
(Am) I guess you never know
(C) Someone you think you know
(Dm) Can't see the knife when you're too close, (Am) too close
(Am) It scars forever when
(C) Someone you called a friend
(Dm) Shows you the truth can be so cold, (F) so cold
 
(Pre-Chorus)
I'd wipe the (Am)dirt off your name
With the (C)shirt off my back
I thought that (Am)you'd do the same
But you (F)didn't do that (Yeah)
 
(Chorus)
Said (C)I�fm the one who's wanted
(G) For all the (Am)fires you started
(F) You knew the (C)house was burning (G)down
(Am)I had to get out
(F) You led your (C)saints and sinners
(G) And fed 'em (Am)lies for dinner
(F) You knew the (C)house was burning (G)down
And (Am)look at you now
 
(Post-Chorus)
(Am) (Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
(Am) (Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh) And (NC)look at you now
 
(Verse 2)
(Am) How do you sleep at night?
(C) No one to hide behind
(Dm) Betrayed every alibi you had, (Am) you had
You had (Am) every chance to make amends
Instead, you (C) got drunk on bitterness
And you (Dm) still claim that you're innocent, it's sad (F) that you
 
(Chorus)
(C)Said I'm the one who's wanted
(G) For all the (Am)fires you started
(F) You knew the (C)house was burning (G)down
I (Am)had to get out
(F) You led your (C)saints and sinners
(G) And fed 'em (Am)lies for dinner
(F) You knew the (C)house was burning (G)down
Am (And look at you now)
 
(Bridge)
Used to tell me you'd (Dm)pray for me
(C) 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 (Am)walls
Used to tell me you'd (Dm)pray for me
(C) You were praying for my (G)down-(Am)fall
You were digging a (Dm)grave for me
(C)We were sharing the (G)same four walls

(Chorus)
And you (C)said I'm the one who's wanted
(G)For all the (Am)fires you started
(F) You knew the (C)house was burning (G)down
I had to get out
(F) You led your (C)saints and sinners
(G) And fed 'em (Am)lies for dinner
(F) You knew the (C)house was burning (G)down
(And look at you now)
 
(Outro.)
Used to tell me you'd (Dm)pray for (C)me (Pray for me)
You were praying for my (G)down-(Am)fall (For my downfall)
You were digging a (Dm)grave for (C)me
We were sharing the (G)same four (Am)walls
Used to tell me you'd (C)pray for 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 four walls and you - - - - -
