Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Bbm
   I guess you never know
Db
  Someone you think you know
Ebm
   Can't see the knife when you're too close,
Bbm
   too close
It scars forever when
Db
  Someone you called a friend
Ebm
   Shows you the truth can be so cold,
Gb
  so cold

[Pre-Chorus]
             Bbm
I'd wipe the dirt off your name
         Bbm7
With the shirt off my back
               Bbm6
I thought that you'd do the same
        Gb
But you didn't do that

[Chorus]
Gb        Db
  Said I'm  the one who's wanted
Ab       Bbm
  For all   the fires you started
Gb        Db                      Ab
  You knew  the house was burning down
Bbm
I  had to get out
Gb       Db
  You led  your saints and sinners
Ab       Bbm
  And fed   'em lies for dinner
Gb        Db                      Ab
  You knew  the house was burning down
And look at you now
Bbm
   And look at you now

[Verse 2]
Bbm
   How do you sleep at night?
Db
  No one to hide behind
Ebm
   Betrayed every alibi you had,
Bbm
   you had
You had every chance to make amends
            Db
Instead, you  got drunk on bitterness
       Ebm
And you   still claim that you're innocent,
        Gb
it's sad

[Chorus]
       Gb        Db
That you Said I'm
the one who's wanted
Ab       Bbm
  For all   the fires you started
Gb        Db                      Ab
  You knew  the house was burning down
Bbm
I  had to get out
Gb       Db
  You led  your saints and sinners
Ab       Bbm
  And fed   'em lies for dinner
Gb        Db                      Ab
  You knew  the house was burning down
                      Ebm      Db
Used to tell me you'd pray for me

[Bridge]
                        Ab  Bbm
You were praying for my downfall
                   Ebm       Db
You were digging a grave for me
                    Ab       Bbm
We were sharing the same four   walls
                      Ebm      Db
Used to tell me you'd pray for me
                        Ab  Bbm
You were praying for my downfall
                   Ebm       Db
You were digging a grave for me
                    Ab
We were sharing the same four walls
And you

[Chorus]
Gb             Db
  Said I'm the one who's wanted
Ab            Bbm
  For all the fires you started
Gb        Db                      Ab
  You knew  the house was burning down
Bbm
I  had to get out
Gb       Db
  You led  your saints and sinners
Ab       Bbm
  And fed   'em lies for dinner
Gb        Db                      Ab
  You knew  the house was burning down
                      Ebm      Db
Used to tell me you'd pray for me

[Outro]
                        Ab  Bbm
You were praying for my downfall
                   Ebm       Db
You were digging a grave for me
                    Ab       Bbm
We were sharing the same four   walls
                      Ebm      Db
Used to tell me you'd pray for me
                        Ab  Bbm
You were praying for my downfall
                   Ebm       Db
You were digging a grave for me
                    Ab
We were sharing the same four walls
And you
