Em D C
I used to love you once long ago
Em C D
I opened my door and gave you a home
Em D C
You were my cairn and you were my creed
Am C D
My everything or at least so I thought
[Bridge]
Dm
Something died on the day that you left me
Ab C
Melodies, memories and my dreams
Dm
Something left, something came, something darker
Ab C
Someone let the cold inside
[Verse 2]
Em D C
You ate my bread and drank from my well
Em C D
I dressed you in silk, sold all I could sell
Em D C
So I could keep your heart satisfied
Am C D
But every time you just asked me for more
[Bridge]
Dm
Deeper down to the hole where you made me
Ab C
To the vortex of pain that will stain me
Dm
I won't drown, I won't lie, I won't die here
Ab C
I will fight, I will rise again
[Bridge 2]
Em
I won't write you an ode nor confession
C D
Not a song but a war declaration
Em
Story told from the dawn of creation
C D
Symphony with a grim orchestration
[Chorus]
C D
You were the harlot of my heart
Em
Like a fool I played my part
C D
But now you're hanging on your cross
Em
And I am banging in the nails
C
You're no one
Mean nothing
Bm
You're worthless
Em
Dead to me
[Verse 3]
Em D C
Years they have passed and I'm over you
Em C D
I've licked all my wounds and forged me anew
Em D C Am
I wish I could say I wish you the best, it isn't true
C D
I won't forgive, won't forget
[Bridge 2]
Em
I won't write you an ode nor confession
C D
Not a song but a war declaration
Em
Story told from the dawn of creation
C D
Symphony with a grim orchestration
[Chorus]
C D
You were the harlot of my heart
Em
Like a fool I played my part
C D
But now you're hanging on your cross
Em
And I am banging in the nails
C
You're no one
Mean nothing
Bm
You're worthless
Em
Dead to me
