[Intro] C Em C Em D C Em C Em D [Verse 1] Em C Once, I had an empire
G D
in a golden age Em C I was held up so high,
G D
I used to be great Em They used to cheer
C G D
when they saw my face Em C G D Now, I fear I have fallen from grace [Chorus] Em C And I feel like my
G D
castle's crumbling down Em C G D And I watch all my bridges 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 [Instrumental] Em C G D [Verse 2] Em C Once, I was the great hope
G D
for a dynasty Em C Crowds would hang on my words
G D
and they trusted me Em C Their faith was strong,
G D
but I pushed it too far Em C I held that grudge 'til it
G D
tore me apart Em C G Power went to my head and I
D
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 behind
G D
walls of regret Em C Falling down like promises
G D
that I never kept [Chorus] Em C And I feel like my
G D
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
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 My foes and friends
C
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 that
Em
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 [Outro] Em C G D Em C D Em C G D Em C G D Em C G D Em C
