You told me yes / You held me high

And I believed when you told that lie
                 Am                      
I played that soldier / You played king
                G                     
And struck me down when I kissed that ring
                 Dm                       
You lost that right / to hold that crown
             F                 
I built you up but you let me down
             Am                      
so when you fall / I'll take my turn
               G                       
and fan the flames as your blazes burn
