🎸 Verse 1:
E MajorE
There's no way out of an angry crowd without steppin' on some toes

They'll scream your name 'til the lights go out then they'll feed you to the wolves

It's hard to say who you'll be when they let those big red curtains close
E MajorE
You know this 'cause you told me so

🎸 Pre-Chorus:
        E MajorE
I bet you forgot
               A augmentedA
Black heels in the summertime
                     A augmentedA
Dad's bad, cookin' though, you'd be polite
                        B9B9
Honey, now you got a look that I can't recognize
                E MajorE
You pulled me aside and you said


🎸 Chorus:
E MajorE
To know me is to hate me
              A augmentedA
Is to hate what I've become

It's to watch me as I'm fallin'
               C# minorC#m
From that laddеr's last rung
               BB
It's to feel it like a secret
            A augmentedA
You can't keep in, I'm not thе way I was

I'm not the way I was


Post-🎸 Chorus:
E MajorE
Mm, mm-mm-mm, hmm-mm, mm

🎸 Verse 2:
E MajorE
Were you freed within, did you leave your skin?

Are you tethered in your doubt?

Have you breathed it in 'til it's medicine that you cannot live without?
E MajorE
'Cause you came back home a fuckin' alien and we're stuck here on the ground

Call your mom back, kid, before the high comes down


🎸 Pre-Chorus:
         E MajorE
'Cause you forgot
               A augmentedA
Black heels in the summertime
                  A augmentedA
Dirt road smoking on a Friday night
                        B9B9
Honey, now you got a look that I don't recognize
                E MajorE
You pulled me aside and you said


🎸 Chorus:

To know me is to hate me
              A augmentedA
Is to hate what I've become

It's to watch me as I'm fallin'
              C# minorC#m
From that ladder's last rung
             BB
It's to feel it like a secret
            A augmentedA
You can't keep in, I'm not the way I was
           E MajorE
I'm not the way I was

But to feel it, to see it
             A augmentedA
The look in all their eyes

Is to breathe in, to be in
                C# minorC#m
The good grace of that Godlight
             BB
It's to have it in your hands
             A augmentedA
The one thing you wanted all your life
        E MajorE
"It's all mine"


🎸 Bridge:
                          A augmentedA
It's a hole I can't fill, it's a curse I can't break
                          C# minorC#m
And I gave my soul to it, and I cannot be reclaimed
          BB         A augmentedA
I was younger then, I was younger then
     E MajorE
I was young


🎸 Chorus:

To know me is to hate me
              A augmentedA
Is to hate what I've become

It's to watch me as I'm fallin'
              C# minorC#m
From that ladder's last rung
             BB
It's to feel it like a secret
            A augmentedA
You can't keep in, I'm not the way I was
           E MajorE
I'm not the way I was

But to feel it, to see it
             A augmentedA
The look in all their eyes

Is to breathe in, to be in
                C# minorC#m
The good grace of that Godlight

It's to have it in your hands
             A augmentedA
The one thing you wanted all your life
        E MajorE
"It's all mine"


🎸 Outro:

And to feel it, to see it
             A augmentedA
The look in all your eyes

Is to breathe in, to be in
                C# minorC#m
The good grace of this Godlight
            BB
It's to have it in your hands
            A augmentedA
The one thing I wanted all my life

It's all mine
