[VERSE]
[Ab]I bet you thought that you'd succeed
[Abm]Pulling the wool right over me
Hard to be[Gm]lieve this snake stayed in the grass
just long enough to catch your Rabbit's feet [A]
With teles[Ab]coping glances
Hands romanced enticing you to keep
[Abm]Laboring against the clock in spite of secrecy
You couldn't kno[Gm]w revealed itself
To me the second you decided to compete [A]
[CHORUS]
[Gm]I fell down then I fell apart[F]
"I never wanted to h[Cm]urt no one.
I never wanted to [Gm]be your city's son[F]"
[Gm]I cried out to his crooked heart [F]
"I Never wanted to [Cm]hurt no one. No one but you" [Gm]
[VERSE]
[Ab]I bet you thought that you could breathe
[Abm]A satisfied sigh of relief
A terrible [Gm]thing, forgetting where you came from
Or have you trouble when you fall asl[A]eep
I’ve seen you [Ab]fabricate, manipulate and here, you masquerade
[Abm]But if we're poaching ghosts, you know I’ve got a few that I would raise
Settle yourself[Gm]
As long as I’m protected
You can bet your secret's safe with [A]me

[CPART]
[Gm]Lost my soul
In the place of the great dec[Cm]eiver
[A]Foolish [Am]hearts led [Gm]foolish [F]plans [Eb]Awry [D]
They told me [Gm]don't veer far from your home
Try never to [Cm]leave her
[A7]Near I [Am]Landed; [Gm]here I’ll [F]live and [Eb]die
Travelled too [Ab]far from the [D]river's [Gm]side
[Cm]It wasn't long before I felt nothing be[Gm]low me
[Cm]And all of the ground I thought I’d gained
Taken away[Gm]
[Cm]Thought I was strong; not strong enough;
My mettle was ben[Gm]ding
[A]Foolish [Am]plans kissed [Gm]Foolish [F]hearts good[Eb]bye
Travelled too [Ab]far from the [D]river's si[Gm]de
[Ab]I bet you thought that you'd succeed
