Verse I:

Bm
We'd only heard of such betrayal through rumors before
      G           F#       G             F#
(Kept feeding the fire and finally we've had enough)
Bm
Until it showed itself alone at our front door
    G             F#          G                F#
(So distorted and bloated and dragged straight through the mud)
G                           A                  Bm
Don't flinch! I won't think twice to call your bluff
G                        A                                F#
And this time I won't be dragged through the wreckage and flood


Chorus I:

                    Bm
We've seen this all before
                              G                D
There's no one else but me to pull us from the brink
                                      A
You'll see the truth compared to this mess you’ve made
Bm                                     G
Maybe someday you'll wake up from this fantasy
    D                                   F#      A#   B  C#
And then it will be too late for you to elevate this failing grade

Verse II:

Bm
I know it frightens you to finally see the truth
      G              F#          G      F#
(That love, hate and anguish was only a waste of time)
Bm
But if you only knew the vice she had on you
    G           F#            G            F#
(It twisted and tightened her grip on your swift decline)
G               A                   Bm
A new chance to exorcise our common grudge
G                         A                     F#
A clean slate - a promise forged on the fire in blood


Chorus II:

                    Bm
We've seen this all before
                              G                D
There's no one else but me to pull us from the brink
                                      A
You'll see the truth compared to this mess you’ve made
Bm                                     G
Maybe someday you'll wake up from this fantasy
    D                                   F#     A#   C#   D   D    C#   B   A#  G
And then it will be too late for you to elevate your gain and save this failing grade
