Verse 1:
                 C
I was nine years old
       G
With a cape and a pure soul
B7                              Em
Planning to save the world from hell
                     C
Years later down the road
G                               B7
I found your heart and tried to save you
         Em
From yourself
      C
But I ain't a damn hero
        G
And one day I'm gonna die
         B7                    Em
Like the dozens of roses lying by your bedside
             C
You'd rather let the darkness in
G

Let it overstay
   B7                          Em             C  G  B7  Em
So let me be the dark that the sun can't save


Chorus:
               C       G
So I'll be the villain yeah
     B7                     Em
It's obvious you don't need saving
                C       G
And it ain't fulfilling no
B7                           Em
Treating this love like it's hatred
   C
At least it's enough for you
   G
To love the ride
G
And crawl back to
B7                      Em
Me when you cut off the lights
            C
I'll be the villain
G
Killing your dreams
    B7                 Em  C    G    B7   Em
And running your heart dry


Verse 2:
         C
And I realized
            G
The type of guys you stick around for
B7
Treat you like a sickness
         Em
When you seem like the cure
C                          G
So I took the boy that had dreams to change the world
B7                         Em
Made him change everything for a green eye girl
    B7
His looks his clothes his sound his name
B7
He's fucked he knows his heart in pain he'll cover up with a canvas of black paint


Chorus:
               C       G
So I'll be the villain yeah
     B7                     Em
It's obvious you don't need saving
                C       G
And it ain't fulfilling no
B7                           Em
Treating this love like it's hatred
   C
At least it's enough for you
   G
To love the ride
G
And crawl back to
B7                      Em
Me when you cut off the lights
            C
I'll be the villain
G
Killing your dreams
    B7                 Em
And running your heart dry

Bridge:
     C
It's changed me in ways
         D
And it's not just an act
     Em
I've took this heart of gold
Em
And painted it black
C
Just so it's enough for you
   D
To love the ride
D
Crawl back to
Em
Me when you cut off the lights
