Chords with lyrics

Verse 1:
C#5C#5 C5C5 F5F5                 A#5A#5
     Never really had a problem with you
C#5C#5 C5C5 F5F5                     F#5F#5
     All along, I thought our friendship was true
G5G5 C5C5 F5F5                 A#5A#5 C#5C#5 C5C5
     Put my trust in you right from the start
  C5C5       C#5C#5       C5C5
I never dreamed that you would be my enemy
  C#5C#5      A#5A#5
The knife to take my heart
           F#5F#5
You screwed me in the perfect way, a friend betrayed
C5C5      F5F5     C5C5       F5F5
Just another mourner, content to follow orders

Pre-Chorus:
D#5D#5                  A#5A#5
Leave behind your conscience, abandon those who need you most
  G#5G#5                 D#5D#5
Convince yourself you're noble, but we both know it's not so
      C5C5    F5F5   G5G5      G#5G#5
But if you cross my battle line, you'll find
     G5G5       C5C5
You'll be sorry that you tried


Chorus:
    C#5C#5             F5F5
If it's war that you want, then you got it
    G5G5               G#5G#5
If it's pain, well, I brought what you need
    C5C5      G5G5       A5A5     G5G5    G#5G#5
If it's true what you say, you're the best, then let's play
      F5F5   G5G5     G#5G#5
You won't believe it until you see it
    C5C5    A#5A#5   A5A5  G#5G#5    F#5F#5
When I kick your ass and look you in the eye
    D5D5                G5G5
With a smile and a cheerful heart, I'll turn to you and wave
  C5C5
Goodbye!

Verse 2:
C#5C#5 C5C5 F5F5                 F5F5
     I'll be honest, I was plenty surprised
F5F5                 F#5F#5
  Turned from family to full-on despised
G5G5 C5C5 F5F5                    A#5A#5 C#5C#5 C5C5
     Just like you to take the coward's way out
    C5C5      C#5C#5
A augmentedA book of lies with no replies
   C5C5       C#5C#5    A#5A#5
This diatribe's your victory, no doubt
           F#5F#5
You knew the cruelest things to say, then ran away
C5C5          F5F5       C5C5     F5F5
Filled with spite and jaundiced, like Judas thereupon kissed

Pre-Chorus:
D#5D#5              A#5A#5
Just a mindless weapon pointed at an enemy
 G#5G#5              D#5D#5
A augmentedA simple tool providing someone else with victory
       C5C5     F5F5   G5G5
Now that you crossed my battle line
   G#5G#5     G5G5        C5C5
It's time that I blow your little mind

Bridge:
A5A5
  Farewell, my friend
     E5E5               D5D5
I really must give you the credit, you achieved a goal
      E5E5                 A5A5
Perhaps the first time in your life you felt control
                E5E5               D5D5
I'll never trust the same, I'll see friendship as just another game
    A5A5      F5F5   E5E5    A5A5 G#5G#5
Full of winners and losers, selfish abu-sers
  F#5F#5        G5G5     C5C5
You failed to fly, but somehow I’m to blame?


Chorus:
    C#5C#5             F5F5
If it's war that you want, then you got it
    G5G5               G#5G#5
If it's pain, well, I brought what you need
    C5C5      G5G5       A5A5     G5G5    G#5G#5
If it's true what you say, you're the best, then let's play
      F5F5   G5G5     G#5G#5
You won't believe it until you see it
    C5C5    A#5A#5   A5A5  G#5G#5    F#5F#5
When I kick your ass and look you in the eye
    D5D5                G5G5
With a smile and a cheerful heart, I'll turn to you and wave
  C5C5
Goodbye!
