Verse I:

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

Chorus I:

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

Verse II:

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


Chorus II:

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

N.C.
We've seen this all before
N.C.
There's no one else but me to pull us from the brink

You'll see the truth compared to this mess you’ve made
N.C.
Maybe someday you'll wake up from this fantasy
                    F#F#   A#A#  BB C#C#
And then it will be too late for you to elevate this failing grade

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