[INTRO]
E, B6sus4 (Hammer on the D string at 4th fret with pinky while holding the E chord)
[Verse 1]
E B6
When they gave you roses and believed your wild excuses
A E
You were sealing the deal
E
Halfway down the road they named it
B6
Funny how the ghosts they played have
A G#7
Suddenly appear
[Chorus 1]
A F#
You went too far
F# E A
Oh, woman, now you're feeling the fear
A E A
Cause you've never been alone before, oh
A E A
And the wolf is at the door, oh
A E G#7 A
Now it's better if you hold your breath and don't look down
F# A E B6sus4
At the pages of your paper crown
[Verse 2]
E B6
You reached out for more and as the waves end at the shore you felt
A E
The fading of the view
E
Choke back the metaphors
B6
The bottom of the ladder as
A G#7
The deal our love has sealed
[Chorus 2]
A F#
You went too far
F# E A
Oh, woman, now you're feeling the fear
A E A
Cause you've never been alone before, oh
A E A
And the wolf is at the door, oh
A E G#7 A
And the hounds of hell, they won't lie down
F# A E B6sus4
On the ashes of your paper crown
[Verse 3]
B A
And if I light out the sun
A E D A F#
Will you make sure everyone can see your face?
B A
You make fun of everyone who falls
A E D A D
In the meantime when they're staying with you at place
[Chorus 3]
A E A
Cause you've never been alone before
A E A
And the wolf is at the door, oh
A E G#7 A
And the talking heads don't make a sound
F# A E
At the aging of your paper crown
F# A
It's better when you don't look down
F# Asus2 E
At the pages of your paper crown
