Intro: Em C B
 
verse 1
Em
I've been a criminal, I made a mistake
Believed in the fictional
C
Then let everything slip away
B
I can't accept my faith
Em
Thought the alternative looked so crystal clear
Drowned in the muddy waters
C
And I'm living in my worst fears
B
Begging you back through tears
 
Pre-Chorus
Am
You had this picture of me
Em
And now I have shattered your dreams
B
I know the drill and I know the truth
And it kills me
 
[Refrão]
G
Yeah, I'm guilty
Am
Don't come near me
Em C
The one thing I'm good at is messing up somebody else
Cm
Baby, I'm guilty
G Am
I'm turning sweet love into poison
Em C
And I got the scars, if you're talking 'bout hurting yourself
Cm G
Baby, I'm guilty as hell
 
verse 2
Em
I sit here all alone, my defence is down
Wishing I could be home
C
But I'm locked out and it's my fault
B
Graze's with added salt
Em
Thought I would be okay without you and I
Em C
Now that I realize it was all just an awful lie
B
Take me back, I might die
 
Pre-Chorus
Am
You had this picture of me
Em
And now I have shattered your dreams
B
I know the drill and I know the truth
And it kills me

I should've known that I could not go on here without you

Instead of walking away, know that I'll feel terrified

Please, take me back, I don't wanna believe this goodbye, oh
