Castles Crumbing Chords by Taylor Swift feat. Hayley Williams [From The Vault]

[Intro]

[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
