Verse 1:
Gm           G         C     C
  Once, I had an empire in a golden age
Gm          G          C         C
  I was held up so high, I used to be great
Gm                  G          C      C
  They used to cheer when they saw my face
Gm           G       C           C
  Now, I fear I have fallen from grace


Chorus:
    Gm     G       C        C
And I feel like my castle's crumbling down
    Gm      G      C       C
And I watch all my bridges burn to the ground
    Gm        G       C        C                   Gm   G
And you don't want to know me, I will just let you down
C                        Gm  G C C
 You don't wanna know me now

Instrumental:
Gm G C C


Verse 2:
Gm           G              C      C
  Once, I was the great hope for a dynasty
Gm                 G           C         C
  Crowds would hang on my words and they trusted me
Gm                G             C             C
  Their faith was strong, but I pushed it too far
Gm            G              C        C
  I held that grudge 'til it tore me apart
Gm      G              C      C
  Power went to my head and I couldn't stop
Gm       G              C          C
  Ones I loved tried to help, so I ran them off
Gm           G                C          C
  And here I sit alone behind walls of regret
Gm                G             C       C
Falling down like promises that I never kept


Chorus:
    Gm     G       C        C
And I feel like my castle's crumbling down
    Gm      G      C       C
And I watch all my bridges burn to the ground
    Gm        G       C        C                   Gm   G
And you don't want to know me, I will just let you down
C                        G
 You don't wanna know me now


Post-Chorus:
      Gm C
Ooh, ooh
 G    Gm C
Ooh, ooh
 G
Ooh (Ah, ah)
Gm       C
Ooh (Ah, ah)
G   Gm C
Ooh


Verse 3:
Gm                   G
  My foes and friends watch my reign end
G            C
I don't know how it could've ended this way
Gm
  Smoke billows from my ships in the harbor
G
People look at me like I'm a monster
C
 Now they're screaming at the palace front gates
        C
Used to chant my name
                                 Gm
Now they're screaming that they hate me
                     Gm
Never wanted you to hate me


Chorus:
   C        C
My castle's crumbling down
    Gm      G      C       C
And I watch all my bridges burn to the ground
    Gm        G       C        C                   Gm   G C
And you don't want to know me, I will just let you down
   C                  Gm   G C
My castle's crumbling down
C                       Gm  G C C
You don't wanna know me now
