[Intro]
C#m B A
.................
[Verse 1]
C#m B A
There's no way out of an angry crowd without steppin' on some toes
C#m B A
They'll scream your name 'til the lights go out then they'll feed you to the wolves
C#m B A
It's hard to say who you'll be when they let those big red curtains close
C#m B A
You know this 'cause you told me so...
[Pre-Chorus]
C#m
I bet you forgot
B
Black heels in the summertime
Dad's bad, cookin' though, you'd be polite
A
Honey, now you got a look that I don't recognize
A
You pulled me aside and you said
[Chorus]
E
..To know me is to hate me
Is to hate what I've become
Amaj7
..It's to watch me as I'm fallin'
From that ladder's last rung
C#m B
..It's to feel it like a secret
Amaj7
You can't keep in, I'm not the way I was
I'm not the way I was
[Post-Chorus]
C#m B A
.....................
[Verse 2]
C#m B
Were you freed within, did you leave your skin?
A
Are you tethered in your doubt?
C#m B A
Have you breathed it in 'til it's medicine that you cannot live without?
C#m B A
'Cause you came back home a ******' alien and we're stuck here on the ground
C#m B A
Call your mom back, kid, before the high comes down
[Pre-Chorus]
C#m
'Cause you forgot
Black heels in the summertime
B
..Dirt road smoking on a Friday night
A
Honey, now you got a look that I don't recognize
A
You pulled me aside and you said
[Chorus]
E
..To know me is to hate me
Is to hate what I've become
Amaj7
..It's to watch me as I'm fallin'
From that ladder's last rung
C#m B
..It's to feel it like a secret
Amaj7
You can't keep in, I'm not the way I was
I'm not the way I was
E
..But to feel it, to see it
The look in all their eyes
Amaj7
..Is to breathe in, to be in
The good grace of that Godlight
C#m B
..It's to have it in your hands
Amaj7
The one thing you wanted all your life
"It's all mine"
[Bridge]
E A
It's a hole I can't fill, it's a curse I can't break
C#m
And I gave my soul to it, and I cannot be reclaimed
B A
I was younger then, I was younger then
I was young
[Chorus]
E
..To know me is to hate me
Is to hate what I've become
Amaj7
..It's to watch me as I'm fallin'
From that ladder's last rung
C#m B
..It's to feel it like a secret
Amaj7
You can't keep in, I'm not the way I was
I'm not the way I was
E
..But to feel it, to see it
The look in all their eyes
Amaj7
..Is to breathe in, to be in
The good grace of that Godlight
C#m B
..It's to have it in your hands
Amaj7
The one thing you wanted all your life
"It's all mine"
[Outro]
E
And to feel it, to see it
Amaj7
The look in all your eyes
..Is to breathe in, to be in
C#m
The good grace of this Godlight
B
..It's to have it in your hands
A
The one thing I wanted all my life
It's all mine
