Burning Down

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


 
             Am 
I'd wipe the dirt off your name 
         C 
With the shirt off my back 
               Am 
I thought that you'd do the same 
        F 
But you didn't do that (Yeah) 


C 
Said I'm the one who's wanted 
G   Am 
For all the fires you started 
F   C                  G       Am 
You knew the house was burning down 
Am 
I had to get out 
F   C 
You led your saints and sinners 
G   Am 
And fed 'em lies for dinner 
F        C                     G 
You knew the house was burning down 
         Am 
And look at you now

    Am 
How do you sleep at night? 
C 
No one to hide behind 
Dm                       Am 
Betrayed every alibi you had, you had 
    Am 
You had every chance to make amends 
C 
Instead, you got drunk on bitterness 
        Dm                                     F 
And you still claim that you're innocent, it's sad 
     F 
That you

                     G 
You were praying for my downfall 
Am                 Dm    C 
You were digging a grave for me 
                    G    Am 
We were sharing the same four walls 
                      C 
Used to tell me you'd pray for me 
                        G 
You were praying for my downfall

You were digging a grave for me
