Verse:
Em           C         G     D
  Once, I had an empire in a golden age
Em          C          G         D
  I was held up so high, I used to be great
Em                  C          G      D
  They used to cheer when they saw my face
Em           C       G           D
  Now, I fear I have fallen from grace

Chorus:
    Em     C       G        D
And I feel like my castleʼs crumbling down
    Em      C      G       D
And I watch all my bridges burn to the ground
    Em        C       G        D                   Em   C
And you donʼt want to know me, I will just let you down
D                        Em  C G D
 You donʼt wanna know me now

Em C G D

Verse:
Em           C              G      D
  Once, I was the great hope for a dynasty
Em                 C           G         D
  Crowds would hang on my words and they trusted me
Em                C             G             D
  Their faith was strong, but I pushed it too far
Em            C              G        D
  I held that grudge ʼtil it tore me apart
Em      C              G      D
  Power went to my head and I couldnʼt stop
Em       C              G          D
  Ones I loved tried to help, so I ran them off
Em           C                G          D
  And here I sit alone behind walls of regret
Em                C             G       D
Falling down like promises that I never kept

Chorus:
    Em     C       G        D
And I feel like my castleʼs crumbling down
    Em      C      G       D
And I watch all my bridges burn to the ground
    Em        C       G        D                   Em   C
And you donʼt want to know me, I will just let you down
D                        C
 You donʼt wanna know me now

Post-chorus:
      Em D
Ooh, ooh
 C    Em D
Ooh, ooh
 C
Ooh (Ah, ah)
Em       D
Ooh (Ah, ah)
C   Em D
Ooh

Verse:
Em                   C
  My foes and friends watch my reign end
C            D
I donʼt know how it couldʼve ended this way
Em
  Smoke billows from my ships in the harbor
C
People look at me like Iʼm a monster
G
 Now theyʼre screaming at the palace front gates
        D
Used to chant my name
                                 Em
Now theyʼre screaming that they hate me
                     Em
Never wanted you to hate me

Chorus:
   G        D
My castleʼs crumbling down
    Em      C      G       D
And I watch all my bridges burn to the ground
    Em        C       G        D                   Em   C G
And you donʼt want to know me, I will just let you down
   D                  Em   C G
My castleʼs crumbling down
D                       Em  C G D
You donʼt wanna know me now
