Chords

[Intro] C Em C Em D C Em C Em D [Verse 1]
Em           C         G     D
  Once, I had an empire in a golden age

Em          C          G         D
  I was held up so high, I used to be great

Em                  C          G      D
  They used to cheer when they saw my face

Em           C       G           D
  Now, I fear I have fallen from grace
[Chorus]
    Em     C       G        D
And I feel like my castle's crumbling down

    Em      C      G       D
And I watch all my bridges burn to the ground

    Em        C       G        D                   Em   C
And you don't want to know me, I will just let you down

D                        Em  C G D
 You don't wanna know me now
[Instrumental] Em C G D [Verse 2]
Em           C              G      D
  Once, I was the great hope for a dynasty

Em                 C           G         D
  Crowds would hang on my words and they trusted me

Em                C             G             D
  Their faith was strong, but I pushed it too far

Em            C              G        D
  I held that grudge 'til it tore me apart

Em      C              G      D
  Power went to my head and I couldn't stop

Em       C              G          D
  Ones I loved tried to help, so I ran them off

Em           C                G          D
  And here I sit alone behind walls of regret

Em                C             G       D
Falling down like promises that I never kept
[Chorus]
    Em     C       G        D
And I feel like my castle's crumbling down

    Em      C      G       D
And I watch all my bridges burn to the ground

    Em        C       G        D                   Em   C
And you don't want to know me, I will just let you down

D                        C
 You don't wanna know me now
[Post-Chorus]
      Em D
Ooh, ooh

 C    Em D
Ooh, ooh

 C
Ooh (Ah, ah)

Em       D
Ooh (Ah, ah)

C   Em D
Ooh
[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

                                 Em
Now they're screaming that they hate me

                     Em
Never wanted you to hate me
[Chorus]
   G        D
My castle's crumbling down

    Em      C      G       D
And I watch all my bridges burn to the ground

    Em        C       G        D                   Em   C G
And you don't want to know me, 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
[Outro] Em C G D Em C D Em C G D Em C G D Em C G D Em C
