Capo: 2
-Verse-
Was [G]any[C]any of it [D] true?
[G]Gazing[C]Gazing at me [D]starry-eyed
In your Je[G]hovah's[C] Witnes[D]s suit
[G]Who the[C]the fuck wa[D]was that guy?
[Em] Once, I had[C]had an empire[G]empire in a [D]golden age
[Em] I was held[C] up so high[G], I used t[D]o be great
[Em] They used to cheer[C]cheer when they [G]saw my [D]face
[Em] Now, I fear[C]fear I have [G]fallen from [D]grace
-Chorus-
So I [G]leap from the gallows
And I [D]levitate down your [Am]street
Crash the party like a [C]record scratch
As I [G]scream, "Who's a[D]fraid of little o[Am]ld me?"[C]
You [Em]should be [G] [C]
[G] [D] [Am]
-Verse-
[Dm]What did you[Am]you think I'd say to [C]that?
Does a scorpion [G]sting when fighting back?
[Dm]They strike [Am]to kill, and you [C]know I wil[G]l
And I don't [G]even want you[D]you back, I just want to know[C]know
If rusting [G]my sparkling[D]sparkling summer was the goal[C]goal
And I don't [G]miss what we[D]we had, but could someone give [C]
A message [G]to the smallest[D]smallest man who ever lived?
-Pre Chorus-
[Dm]Now I breathe [Am]flames each time I [C]talk
My cannons all [G]firin' at your yacht
[Dm]And women like [Am]hunting witches [C]too
Doing your [G]dirtiest work for you
[Am] At all costs, keep [C]your good name
[G]You don't get to [D]tell me you feel[C]feel bad [Am] [C]
Is it a [Em]wonder I broke?
Let's hear [D]one more joke [Am] [C]
Then we can [D]all just laugh until I cry
-Chorus-
[Em] My foes and friends[C]friends watch my reign end
[C]I don't know [D]how it could've ended this way
[Em] Smoke billows from my ships in the harbor
[C]People look at me like I'm a monster-
As I[G]I scream, "Who's [D]afraid of little [Am]old me?[C]me?"
I was [G]tame, I was gentle
Till the [D]circus life made me [Am]mean
"Don't you worry, folks, we [C]took out all her [G]teeth"
Who's a[D]afraid of little o[Am]old me? [C]
-Post Chorus-
My [G]castle's [D]crumbling down
And [Em]I watch [C]all my [G]bridges [D]burn to the ground
And [Em]you don't [C]want to [G]know me, [D]I will just let you [Em]down [C] [G]
-Bridge-
[Dm]I'm [C]taking my time, [Am]taking my time
'Cause [G]you took everything [Dm]from me
[C]Watching you climb, [Am]watching you climb
[G]Over people like [Dm]me
The [C]master of spin has a [Am]couple side flings
[G]Good wives always [Dm]know
[C]She should be mad, should be [Am]scathing like me, but
-Chorus-
Were you sent by some[G]someone who wanted me[Em]me dead?
Did you sleep with a [D]gun underneath our [C]bed?
[Em] So tell me [D]everything is not ab[C]about me
But what if it [G]is? [D/F#] [Em]
[Em] Then say they [D]didn't do it to h[C]hurt me
But what if they [G]did? [D/F#]
And you'll confess why you [G]did it and I'll say, "Good ri[Em]riddance"
I would've died for your [G]sins, instead, I just died i[Em]inside
And you deserve pris[D]prison, but you won't get [C]time
[D/F#]I want to [Am]snarl and show
you just how [C]disturbed this has made me
You'll slide into [G]inboxes and slip through the[Em]the bars
You crashed my [D]party and your rental [C]car
You said normal girls were [G]boring
But you were gone by the morn[Em]morning
You kicked out the [D]stage lights, but you're still per[C]performing
You [Em]wouldn't last an hour in the a[D]asylum where they raised me
So [Am]all you kids can sneak into my [C]house with all the cobwebs
So [G]who's a[D]afraid of [Am]me? [C]
[G]Who's a[D]afraid of little o[Am]old me? [C]
I'm [Em]always drunk on my own tears
Is[D]Isn't that what they all said?
'Cause you [G]lured me
And you [D]hurt me
And you [Am]taunt me [C]
You [G]caged me
And then you [D]called me [Am]crazy [C]
I [G]am what I [D]am 'cause you [Am]trained me [C]
-Outro-
So that I'll [G]sue you if you [D]step on my [Am]lawn
That I'm [G]fearsome and I'm [D]wretched and I'm [Am]wrong
[G]No one likes a m[Dm]mad [C]woman
[Am]What a [G]shame she went ma[Dm]mad [C] [Am]
You [G]made her like that[C]that
And in plain sight you [G]hid
But you are what you [Em]did
And I'll forget [D]you, but I'll never for[C]forgive
The smallest man who ev[G]ever lived
