F#m                           E                       F#m
I rest my case every time we kissed it left a bitter taste
                               E                          F#m
On your cold lips baby it was something that we couldn't fix
           Bm             E
No way no way, no way no way
         F#m            Bm       E
I can't change, Can't change my ways

                  F#m          Bm                E
I hate to see you leaving but love to watch you go
                    F#m              Bm                E
Keep staring at the ceiling when my world's about to blow
                      F#m  Bm               E
And I could chase the melody but I let you down
                   F#m     Bm             E
I play the darkest symphony when you're around
                    F#m
When the walls come down and face the fire

Chorus:
                F#m  Bm E
The end of my empire!
                F#m  Bm E
The end of my empire!
                       F#m    Bm            E
And I could chase the melody but I let you down
                    F#m       Bm          E
I play the darkest symphony when you're around
E
When the walls come down.

Eighteen and life,
did you ever think it would be like this?
He's got my eyes as well as whatever habits,
let it be a bliss

No way no way, no way no way
You can't change, can't change your ways

I hate to see you leaving but I love to watch you go
Keep staring at the ceiling when my world's about to blow
And I could chase the melody but I let you down
I play the darkest symphony when you're around
Let the walls come down and face the fire

Chorus

I hate to see you leaving, but I love to watch you go
Keep staring at the ceiling when my world's about to blow
And I could chase the melody, but I let you down
I play the darkest symphony when you're around

               F#m  Bm E
The end of my empire!
               F#m  Bm E
The end of my empire!
               F#m  Bm E
The end of my empire!
