[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]
[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
