VerseAb
I bet you thought that you'd succeed
Abm
Pulling the wool right over me
Gm
Hard to believe this snake stayed in the grass
A
just long enough to catch your Rabbit's feet
Ab
With telescoping glances
Hands romanced enticing you to keep
Abm
Laboring against the clock in spite of secrecy
Gm
You couldn't know revealed itself
A
To me the second you decided to compete
ChorusGmF
I fell down then I fell apart
Cm
"I never wanted to hurt no one.
GmF
I never wanted to be your city's son"
GmF
I cried out to his crooked heart
CmGm
"I Never wanted to hurt no one. No one but you"
VerseAb
I bet you thought that you could breathe
AbmA satisfied sigh of relief
GmA terrible thing, forgetting where you came from
A
Or have you trouble when you fall asleep
Ab
I've seen you fabricate, manipulate and here, you masquerade
Abm
But if we're poaching ghosts, you know I've got a few that I would raise
Gm
Settle yourself
As long as I'm protected
A
You can bet your secret's safe with me
ChorusGmF
I fell down then I fell apart
Cm
"I never wanted to hurt no one.
GmF
I never wanted to be your city's son"
GmF
I cried out to his crooked heart
CmGm
"I Never wanted to hurt no one. No one but you"
GmCm
Cpart
Gm
Lost my soul
Cm
In the place of the great deceiver
AAmGmFEbD
Foolish hearts led foolish plans Awry
Gm
They told me don't veer far from your home
Cm
Try never to leave her
A7AmGmFEb
Near I Landed; here I'll live and die
AbDGm
Travelled too far from the river's side
CmGm
It wasn't long before I felt nothing below me
Cm
And all of the ground I thought I'd gained
Gm
Taken away
Cm
Thought I was strong; not strong enough;
Gm
My mettle was bending
AAmGmFEb
Foolish plans kissed Foolish hearts goodbye
AbDGm
Travelled too far from the river's side
