The Reckoning chords by Halestorm

Chords with lyrics

G+G                     C minorCm
Cross my heart, broke your promise, told me lies
Why did you
G+G                     C minorCm
Watch me suffer, make me feel like I deserved to
                   G minorGm
Everybody takes, everybody breaks somebody?s heart leaving some on their own
G+G
But this felt more like you ripping flesh from bone
Eb MajorEb
You made a mess out of me
Where do I begin?
          FF
You paid for your sins

G+G
Like a reckoning
G minorGm
You never saw coming
Eb MajorEb              FF
I?m the reaper outside your door
     G+G
You took everything made me feel less than nothing
   Eb MajorEb         FF
I?m getting what I came for
     G minorGm
Like the sound of all the stars crashing in the dark
  Eb MajorEb              FF
I said a prayer and buried your name
           Eb MajorEb         FF
And up through the ashes I rose like wildfire
G+G
The reckoning

G+G                C minorCm
I gave you more than my heart could hope for
You misused it
G+G              C minorCm
Scraped up every piece that fell to the floor
When you tore through it
G+G
Laying me to ruin
You knew what you were doing
C minorCm
Leaving me to skin and bone
G+G
But trusting you was no one?s fault but my own
C minorCm
You get what you give

So take your last breath
     FF     C majorC
Before I lay you to rest

G+G
Like a reckoning
G minorGm
You never saw coming
Eb MajorEb              FF
I?m the reaper outside your door
     G+G
You took everything made me feel less than nothing
   Eb MajorEb         FF
I?m getting what I came for
     G minorGm
Like the sound of all the stars crashing in the dark
  Eb MajorEb              FF
I said a prayer and buried your name
           Eb MajorEb         FF
And up through the ashes I rose like wildfire

Eb MajorEb
I should have known better than that
Bb majorBb             D MajorD
I should have known all along
Eb MajorEb
I should have known better than that
FF
I should have known
          G+G
But now I?m moving on

G+G
Like a reckoning
G minorGm
You never saw coming
Eb MajorEb              FF
I?m the reaper outside your door
     G+G
You took everything made me feel less than nothing
   Eb MajorEb         FF
I?m getting what I came for
     G minorGm
Like the sound of all the stars crashing in the dark
  Eb MajorEb              FF
I said a prayer and buried your name
           Eb MajorEb         FF
And up through the ashes I rose like wildfire

G minorGm
The reckoning
You never saw coming
FF
You never saw me coming
G minorGm
The reckoning
          Eb MajorEb    FF
I?m the reaper outside your door
G minorGm
I am the reckoning
Eb MajorEb       C majorC          G minorGm
You?re every wrong you ever did to me
FF       G+G
I am the reckoning
