(Intro)

[C] [Em] [C] [D]

(Verse 1: Taylor Swift)

[Em]Once I had [C]an empire [G]in a [D]golden age

[Em]I was held [C]up so high

[G]I used to [D]be great

[Em]They used to [C]cheer when [G]they saw my [D]face

[Em]Now I [C]fear I have [G]fallen from [D]grace

(Chorus: Taylor Swift & Hayley Williams, Taylor Swift)

[Em]And I [C]feel like my [G]castle’s crumbling [D]down

[Em]And I [C]watch all my [G]bridges burn to the [D]ground

[Em]And you don’t [C]want to [G]know me

[D]I will just let you [Em]down

[Em]You don’t want to [C]know me [Em]now

[C] [Em] [C] [D]

(Verse 2: Hayley

Williams, Taylor Swift & Hayley Williams)

[Em]Once I was [C]the great hope [G]for a [D]dynasty

[Em]Crowds would hang [C]on my words

[G]And they [D]trusted me

[Em]Their faith was [C]strong

But I [G]pushed it too [D]far

[Em]I held that [C]grudge til it [G]tore me [D]apart

(Pre-Chorus: Taylor Swift &

Hayley Williams, Taylor Swift)

[Em]Power went to [C]my head

[G]And I [D]couldn’t stop

[Em]Ones I loved [C]tried to help

[G]So I ran [D]them off

[Em]And here I [C]sit alone behind [G]walls of [D]regret

[Em]Falling [C]down like [G]promises that

I [D]never kept

(Chorus: Taylor Swift & Hayley Williams, Taylor Swift)

[Em]And I [C]feel like my [G]castle’s crumbling [D]down

[Em]And I [C]watch all my [G]bridges burn to the [D]ground

[Em]And you don’t [C]want to [G]know me

[D]I will just let you [Em]down

[Em]You don’t want to [C]know me [Em]now

[C] [Em] [C] [D]

(Bridge: Taylor Swift)

[Em]My foes [C]and friends watch [G]my reign [D]end

[Em]I don’t know [C]how it could’ve [G]ended this [D]way

[Em]Smoke billows [C]from my ships [G]in the [D]harbor

[Em]People look [C]at me like [G]I’m a [D]monster

[Em]Now they’re [C]screaming at the [G]palace front [D]gates

[Em]Used to [C]chant my [D]name

[Em]Now they’re [C]screaming that [G]they hate [D]me

[Em]Never wanted [C]you to hate [G]me

(Final Chorus: Taylor Swift,

Taylor Swift & Hayley Williams)

[Em]My [C]castle’s [G]crumbling [D]down

[Em]And I [C]watch all the [G]bridges burn to the [D]ground

[Em]And you don’t [C]want to [G]know me

[D]I will just let you [Em]down

[Em]My [C]castle’s [G]crumbling [D]down

[Em]You don’t [C]wanna [G]know me [D]now
