[Verse 1]
F
When they gave you roses and believed your wild excuses
Bb F
You were sealing the deal
F
Halfway down the road and ain't it
D A Bb
Funny how the ghosts they fade and suddenly appear
[Chorus 1]
Bb G
You went too far
F Bb
Oh, woman, now you're feeling the fear
F G Bb
Cause you've never been alone before, oh
F G Bb
And the wolf is at the door, oh
F C Bb
Now it's better if you hold your breath and don't look down
G Bb F
At the pages of your paper crown
[Verse 2]
F
You reached out for more and as the waves hit
At the shore you felt
Bb F
The fading of your will
F
Choke back the metaphors
The bottom of the ladder ask me
D A Bb
If I love you still
[Chorus 2]
Bb G
You went too far
F Bb
Oh, woman, now you're feeling the fear
F G Bb
Cause you've never been alone before, oh
F G Bb
And the wolf is at the door, oh
F C Bb
And the hounds of hell, they won't lie down
G Bb F
On the ashes of your paper crown
G C
[Verse 3]
C Bb
In the bright light of the sun
F Eb Dm
Will you make sure everyone can see your face?
C Bb
You make fun of everyone who falls
F Eb Dm G
In the meantime they were saving you a place
[Chorus 3]
Bb F G Bb
Cause you've never been alone before, oh
F G Bb
And the wolf is at the door, oh
F C Bb
And the talking heads don't make a sound
G Bb F
At the aging of your paper crown
G Gm Bb
It's better when you don't look down
G Bb F
At the pages of your paper crown
