Insider chords by Tom Petty And The Heartbreakers

Standard Tuning (EADGBe)

I found this out by watching Tom Petty and Stevie Nicks performance of this song on
youtube. It may not be 100% right, but it sounds alright playing along to the track.


Verse 1:
          Cadd9
You got a dangerous background
    Cadd9
In everything you dreamed of
       Cadd9
Yeah, you're the dark angel
         Cadd9
It don't show when you break up

Pre-Chorus 1:
    Cadd9
But I'm the one who oughtta know
     Cadd9
Yeah I'm the one left in the dust
D
I'm the broken hearted fool
D
Who was never quite enough

Chorus:
Cadd9
I'm an insider
       Cadd9
I been burned by the fire
       Am
Oh and I've had to live with some hard promises
D
I've crawled through the briars,
G
I'm an insider


Verse 2:
       Cadd9
It's a circle of deception
      Cadd9
It's a hall of strangers
      Cadd9
Yeah, it's a cage without a key
        Cadd9
You can feel the danger
Pre-Chorus 2:
     Cadd9
But I'm the one who oughtta know
Cadd9
I'm the one you couldn’t trust
D
I'm the lonely silent one
D
I'm the one left in the dust

Chorus:
Cadd9
I'm an insider
       Cadd9
I been burned by the fire

G
I'm an insider

G
Whoa - oh
D
Whoa - oh

Verse 3:
      Cadd9
I bet you're his masterpiece
      Cadd9
Oh, I bet you're his self-control
      Cadd9
Yeah, you'll become his legacy
       Cadd9
In his quiet world of white and gold


Pre-Chorus 3:
        Cadd9
Oh, but I'm the one who oughtta know
Cadd9
I'm the one you left to rust
D
Not one of your twisted friends
D
I'm the one you couldn't love

Chorus:
G
I'm an insider
        G
I been burned by the fire
Am
Oh and I've had to live with some hard promises
D
I've crawled through the briars,
G
I'm an insider
