Alec Benjamin – The Arsonist (Guitar)

   G#m                        E
I threw away the evidence and every little trace

    B                             F#
By now, it should be evident that I'm the one to blame

  G#m                           E
I own the conflagration, it was I who lit the flame

         B                F#
Then I flushed all of my matches down the drain

       G#m          E             B      F#
Oh, I know there's no excuse for what I did

G#m      E           B          F#
So the only thing I can do is admit

            G#m
I was the arsonist

             E                                B
The one who burned us to the ground after the argument

     F#                         E
Set fire to the room with our hearts in it

                                            B
And though I said that you're the one who started it

    F#
I started it

             G#m
I was the arsonist

              E                             B
But now I'll make it up to you for all the darkness

         F#                                E
For everything I put you through, let me start with this

    E
I started it

          B                             F#
Now I'll build back that room with our hearts in it

           G#m
I was the arsonist

E                B                           F#
Um, dum-dum-dum-dum-dum-dum, um, da-da, um, dum

     G#m                                 E
I'm siftin' through the rubble and the ashes all around

  B                            F#
Liftin' with my shovel as it crashes through the ground

       G#m                               E
I'm reminded that the trouble, all the trouble that surrounds

    B                F#
Is my fault and I'm here to fix it now

       G#m          E             B      F#
Oh, I know there's no excuse for what I did

G#m      E           B          F#
So the only thing I can do is admit

            G#m
I was the arsonist

             E                                B

E                B                           F#
Um, dum-dum-dum-dum-dum-dum, um, da-da, um, dum

            G#m
I was the arsonist

E                B                           F#
Um, dum-dum-dum-dum-dum-dum, um, da-da, um, dum

C#m
I'll pay the fine, do the time, leave that person behind

F# E                                        F#
  Burn away the past and move past all my crime

            G#m
I was the arsonist

             E                                B
