Verse 1:
[E]There's no way out of an
angry crowd without steppin' on some toes
They'll scream your name 'til the lights
go out then they'll feed you to the wolves
It's hard to say who you'll be when
they let those big red curtains close
[E]You know this 'cause you told me so
Pre-Chorus:
I bet you forgot[E]forgot
Black heels in the summertime[A]summertime
Dad's bad, cookin' though, you'd be polite[A]polite
Honey, now you got a look that I can't recognize[B9]recognize
You pulled me aside and you said[E]said
Chorus:
[E]To know me is to hate me
Is to hate what I've become[A]become
It's to watch me as I'm fallin'
From that laddеr's last rung [Dbm]
It's to feel it like a secret[B]secret
You can't keep in, I'm n[A]not thе way I was
I'm not the way I was
Post-Chorus:
[E]Mm, mm-mm-mm, hmm-mm, mm
Verse 2:
[E]Were you freed within, did you leave your skin?
Are you tethered in your doubt?
Have you breathed it in 'til it's
medicine that you cannot live without?
[E]'Cause you came back home a xxxxin'
alien and we're stuck here on the ground
Call your mom back, kid,
before the high comes down
Pre-Chorus:
'Cause you forgot[E]forgot
Black heels in the summertime[A]summertime
Dirt road smoking on a Friday night[A]night
Honey, now you got a look that I don't recognize[B9]recognize
You pulled me aside and you said[E]said
Chorus:
To know me is to hate me
Is to hate what I've become[A]become
It's to watch me as I'm fallin'
From that ladder's last rung[Dbm]rung
It's to feel it like a sec[B]secret
You can't keep in, I'm n[A]not the way I was
I'm not the way I was[E]was
But to feel it, to see it
The look in all their eyes[A]eyes
Is to breathe in, to be in
The good grace of that Godlight[Dbm]Godlight
It's to have it in your h[B]hands
The one thing you wanted a[A]all your life
"It's all mine"[E]mine"
Bridge:
It's a hole I can't fill, it's a curse I can't break[A]break
And I gave my soul to it, and I cannot be reclaimed[Dbm]reclaimed
I was younger then,[B]then, I was younger then[A]then
I was you[E]young
Chorus:
To know me is to hate me
Is to hate what I've become[A]become
It's to watch me as I'm fallin'
From that ladder's last rung[Dbm]rung
It's to feel it like a se[B]secret
You can't keep in, I'm n[A]not the way I was
I'm not the way I was[E]was
But to feel it, to see it
The look in all their eyes[A]eyes
Is to breathe in, to be in
The good grace of that Godlight[Dbm]Godlight
It's to have it in your hands
The one thing you wanted a[A]all your life
"It's all mine"[E]mine"
Outro:
And to feel it, to see it
The look in all your eyes[A]eyes
Is to breathe in, to be in
The good grace of this Godlight[Dbm]Godlight
It's to have it in your[B]your hands
The one thing I wanted a[A]all my life
It's all mine
