The Reckoning

G                                         Cm
Cross my heart, broke your promise, told me lies
Why did you
G                                         Cm
Watch me suffer, make me feel like I deserved to
                                     Gm
Everybody takes, everybody breaks somebody’s heart leaving some on their own
G
But this felt more like you ripping flesh from bone
D#
You made a mess out of me
Where do I begin?
                   F
You paid for your sins

G
Like a reckoning
Gm
You never saw coming
D#                           F
I’m the reaper outside your door
          G
You took everything made me feel less than nothing
      D#                 F
I’m getting what I came for
          Gm
Like the sound of all the stars crashing in the dark
    D#                           F
I said a prayer and buried your name
                     Eb                 F
And up through the ashes I rose like wildfire
G
The reckoning

G                               Cm
I gave you more than my heart could hope for
You misused it
G                            Cm
Scraped up every piece that fell to the floor
When you tore through it
G
Laying me to ruin
You knew what you were doing
Cm
Leaving me to skin and bone
G
But trusting you was no one’s fault but my own
Cm
You get what you give

So take your last breath
          F          C
Before I lay you to rest

G
Like a reckoning
Gm
You never saw coming
D#                           F
I’m the reaper outside your door
          G
You took everything made me feel less than nothing
      D#                 F
I’m getting what I came for
          Gm
Like the sound of all the stars crashing in the dark
     D#                          F
I said a prayer and buried your name
                     D#                 F
And up through the ashes I rose like wildfire

D#
I should have known better than that
Bb                         D
I should have known all along
D#
I should have known better than that
F
I should have known
                   G
But now I’m moving on

G
Like a reckoning
Gm
You never saw coming
D#                           F
I’m the reaper outside your door
          G
You took everything made me feel less than nothing
      D#                 F
I’m getting what I came for
          Gm
Like the sound of all the stars crashing in the dark
    D#                           F
I said a prayer and buried your name
                     D#                 F
And up through the ashes I rose like wildfire

Gm
The reckoning
You never saw coming
F
You never saw me coming
Gm
The reckoning
                   D#        F
I’m the reaper outside your door
Gm
I am the reckoning
D#             C                   Gm
You’re every wrong you ever did to me
F              G
I am the reckoning
