[Verse 1]
Em C
Once, I had an empire
G D
in a golden age
Em C G
I was held up so high,
D
I used to be great
Em C
They used to cheer when
G D
they saw my face
Em C G
Now, I fear I have fallen
D
from grace
[Chorus]
Em C G
And I feel like my castle's
D
crumbling down
Em C G
And I watch all my bridges
D
burn to the ground
Em C G
And you don't want to know me,
D Em C
I will just let you down
D Em C G D
You don't wanna know me now
[Instrument]

[Verse 2]
Em C
Once, I was the great
G D
hope for a dynasty
Em C
Crowds would hang on
G D
my words and they trusted me
Em C
Their faith was strong,
G D
but I pushed it too far
Em C
I held that grudge
G D
'til it tore me apart
Em C G
Power went to my head and
D
I couldn't stop
Em C G
Ones I loved tried to help,
D
so I ran them off
Em C
And here I sit alone
G D
behind walls of regret
Em C
Falling down like promises
G D
that I never kept
[Chorus]
Em C G
And I feel like my castle's
D
crumbling down
Em C G
And I watch all my bridges
D
burn to the ground
Em C G
And you don't want to know me,
D Em C
I will just let you down
D C
You don't wanna know me now

[Verse 3]
Em C
My foes and friends watch
my reign end
C D
I don't know how it could've
ended this way
Em
Smoke billows from
my ships in the harbor
C
People look at me like
I'm a monster
G
Now they're screaming
at the palace front gates
D
Used to chant my name
Now they're screaming
Em
that they hate me
Em
Never wanted you to hate me
[Chorus]
G D
My castle's crumbling down
Em C G
And I watch all my bridges
D
burn to the ground
Em C G
And you don't want to know me,
D Em C G
I will just let you down
D Em C G
My castle's crumbling down
D Em C G D
You don't wanna know me now
