Tom: Am
Am
[Verse (00:03):]
Am G
Thanks for treating me like every boy you meet
Dm
So please come in and take a seat
F
Here's the part when I learn, and you will teach
E Am
On how to treat people like a piece of meat
G
I want a genuine, not a replica
Dm
Lethal medicine, a pin to the cornea
A sight for sore eyes
F E Dm
While other guys consume the lie, I'll run and hide
[Pre-Chorus (00:25):]
Dm Am
No doors exist on my fortress
G F
The only entrance is the one I bear
E
You're nothing more than a temptress
(F) E
I fell victim to a heartless snare
[Chorus (00:35):]
Am F
Burn the bitch down
C G
I never will cross that bridge again
Am F
I cannot trust you easily
C Em
Or think that I'm the only one
Am F
I never let people in,
C G
and I have you to remind me why
Am F
So baby burn the bitch down
C G
I never will cross that bridge again
Am
I'd rather drown
[Verse 2 (01:00):]
Am
I'm the master of construction
G Dm
Because I'm building walls like it's my occupation
If you portray a liar,
F E Am
I'll shut you out without hesitation
G
It's an art form of consummate skill
Dm
Of how she plays them like the pawn
F
Making boys drool at her will
E Dm
Like Pavlov to the dogs
[Pre-Chorus (01:22):]
Dm Am
No doors exist on my fortress
G F
The only entrance is the one I bear
E
You're nothing more than a temptress
(F) E
I fell victim to a heartless snare
[Chorus (01:33):]
Am F
Burn the bitch down
C G
I never will cross that bridge again
Am F
I cannot trust you easily
C Em
Or think that I'm the only one
Am F
I never let people in,
C G
and I have you to remind me why
Am F
So baby burn the bitch down
C G
I never will cross that bridge again
Am
I'd rather, I'd rather, I'd rather
[Bridge (01:58):]
Am
Drown me, slit my throat so lightly
F E
Pick me up and drop me right into my grave
Am
And now I wonder, sit alone and ponder
F E
Should I even bother, when I see your face?
F G
The itch I couldn't scratch
G#/G Am G F
But I'd come crawling back but now
E
I'd much rather, rather, rather, rather, rather
[Chorus (02:32):]
Am F
Burn the bitch down
C G
I never will cross that bridge again
Am F
I cannot trust you easily
C Em
Or think that I'm the only one
Am F
I never let people in,
C G
and I have you to remind me why
Am F
So baby burn the bitch down
C G
I never will cross that bridge again
[Outro-Chorus (02:55):]
(The chorus along with its' chords is being repeated and these vocals are on top)
Am F C G
Go ahead and burn the bridge right down, it's what you wanted
Am F C Em
Burn the bridge right down
Am F C G
I'm not the only one, the only one
Am F C G
So baby burn the bitch down, I never will cross that bridge again
Am
I'd rather drown
