[Verse I]
Bm
We'd only heard of such betrayal through rumors before
G F# G F#
(Kept feeding the fire and finally we've had enough)
Bm
Until it showed itself alone at our front door
G F# G F#
(So distorted and bloated and dragged straight through the mud)
G A Bm
Don't flinch! I won't think twice to call your bluff
G A F#
And this time I won't be dragged through the wreckage and flood
[Chorus I]
Bm
We've seen this all before
G D
There's no one else but me to pull us from the brink
A
You'll see the truth compared to this mess you’ve made
Bm G
Maybe someday you'll wake up from this fantasy
D F# A# B C#
And then it will be too late for you to elevate this failing grade

[Verse II]
Bm
I know it frightens you to finally see the truth
G F# G F#
(That love, hate and anguish was only a waste of time)
Bm
But if you only knew the vice she had on you
G F# G F#
(It twisted and tightened her grip on your swift decline)
G A Bm
A new chance to exorcise our common grudge
G A F#
A clean slate - a promise forged on the fire in blood
[Chorus II]

We've seen this all before

And then it will be too late for you to elevate your gain and save this failing grade
