[Intro]
Bm  F#m  A  Em  [x2]



[Verse 1]
     Bm
It's pourin' in,
 it
laid on the floor
again
One knock at the
door
 and then
        A
We both know how
 the
story ends, you
can't win
         Em
Wave the white
flags
out when the war
 begins
Bm
Aimin' so high but
 swingin' so low

Tryna catch fire,
 but feelin' so cold
A
Hope they get inside,
 hope they won't show
Em
Sayin' that it's not,
 but inside I know

Today is gonna be
            D
the day you notice

A
joke is

This is what you
Bm
asked for,
             F#m
heavy is the crown
            A
Fire in the sunrise,
              Em
ashes rainin' down
              Bm
Tryna hold it in but
 it
               F#m
keeps bleedin' out
This is what you
A
asked for,
             Em
heavy is the
             Bm
Heavy is the crown



[Verse 2]
Bm
Terriblе luck, now
look what gets me
calm
Outnumberеd ten
to one
     A
Back then, should've
bitten your tongue
There's no turnin'
Em
back this spot once
it's begun
       Bm
You're already on
Say you don't want
what you can't resist
             A
Leavin' that throne
when the devil miss
Watchin' it all
Em
fallin' apart like
this
