Destroyer

 
     D 
You said you needed water 
     D 
So I built the house on sand 
     Em 
But when it sank into the ocean 
     Em 
The blood was on my hands 
D 
You left me in a limbo 
D 
A catch 22 
Em 
Saving my own life 
      Em 
Made me the murderer of you 
 

 
    A 
But I know 
                 A 
I can't claim it as just self-defense 
G                                               A 
Protecting the illusion of my permanent innocence 
A 
Because who's guilty is besides the point 
      G 
It has to be me 
      G 
I have to be 
 

 
D 
Your destroyer 
G                            D 
I don't wanna, but I have to be 
D            G 
Your destroyer 
G                            D 
I don't wanna, but I have to be 
D           G 
Your destroyer 
G              D 
Oh, I have to be 
D 
Your destroyer 
 

 
D 
The villain of the movie 
D 
Just a victim of the times 
Em 
You dress me up and use me 
Em 
To fit the story you designed 
D 
Oh, I yearned for your approval 
D 
'Til I didn't recognize me either 
Em 
Two tickets for a funeral when you 
Em 
Blow up the hand that feeds ya 
 

 
A 
Oh, I can't claim it as just self-defense 
G                                              A 
Protecting the illusion of my permanent innocence 
A 
Because who's guilty is besides the point 
G 
It has to be me 
G 
I have to be 
 

 
D 
Your destroyer 
G 
I don't wanna, but I have to be 
D            G 
Your destroyer 
G                            D 
I don't wanna, but I have to be 
D           G 
Your destroyer 
G              D 
Oh, I have to be 
D 
Your destroyer
