Verse:
D#mBF#C#
Once, I had an empire in a golden age
D#mBF#C#
I was held up so high, I used to be great
D#mBF#C#
They used to cheer when they saw my face
D#mBF#C#
Now, I fear I have fallen from grace
Chorus:
D#mBF#C#
And I feel like my castleʼs crumbling down
D#mBF#C#
And I watch all my bridges burn to the ground
D#mBF#C#D#mB
And you donʼt want to know me, I will just let you down
C#D#mBF#C#
You donʼt wanna know me now
D#mBF#C#
Verse:
D#mBF#C#
Once, I was the great hope for a dynasty
D#mBF#C#
Crowds would hang on my words and they trusted me
D#mBF#C#
Their faith was strong, but I pushed it too far
D#mBF#C#
I held that grudge ʼtil it tore me apart
D#mBF#C#
Power went to my head and I couldnʼt stop
D#mBF#C#
Ones I loved tried to help, so I ran them off
D#mBF#C#
And here I sit alone behind walls of regret
D#mBF#C#
Falling down like promises that I never kept
Chorus:
D#mBF#C#
And I feel like my castleʼs crumbling down
D#mBF#C#
And I watch all my bridges burn to the ground
D#mBF#C#D#mB
And you donʼt want to know me, I will just let you down
C#B
You donʼt wanna know me now

Verse:
D#mB
My foes and friends watch my reign end
BC#
I donʼt know how it couldʼve ended this way
D#m
Smoke billows from my ships in the harbor
B
People look at me like Iʼm a monster
F#
Now theyʼre screaming at the palace front gates
C#
Used to chant my name
D#m
Now theyʼre screaming that they hate me
D#m
Never wanted you to hate me
Chorus:
F#C#
My castleʼs crumbling down
D#mBF#C#
And I watch all my bridges burn to the ground
D#mBF#C#D#mBF#
And you donʼt want to know me, I will just let you down
C#D#mBF#
My castleʼs crumbling down
C#D#mBF#C#
You donʼt wanna know me now
