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

[Pre-Chorus]
                  Em          Am                D
I hate to see you leaving but love to watch you go
                    Em              Am            D
Keep staring at the ceiling when my world's about to blow
                      Em     Am            D
And I could chase the melody but I let you down
                   Em       Am          D
I play the darkest symphony when you're around
                    Em                Em
When the walls come down and face the fire

[Chorus]
              Em      Am    D
The end of my empire!
              Em      Am    D
The end of my empire!
                      Em     Am            D
And I could chase the melody but I let you down
                   Em       Am          D
I play the darkest symphony when you're around
D
When the walls come down...

[Verse 2]
Em                              D                      Em
Eighteen and life, did you ever think it would be like this?
Em                                   D                   Em
He's got my eyes as well as whatever habits, let it be a bliss
Em         Am              D
No way. No way. No way. No way
          Em            Am          D
You can't change, Can't change your ways

[Pre-Chorus]
                  Em          Am                D
I hate to see you leaving but love to watch you go
                    Em              Am            D
Keep staring at the ceiling when my world's about to blow
                      Em     Am            D
And I could chase the melody but I let you down
                   Em       Am          D
I play the darkest symphony when you're around
                    Em                Em
When the walls come down and face the fire

[Chorus]
              Em      Am    D
The end of my empire!
              Em      Am    D
The end of my empire!
                      Em     Am            D
And I could chase the melody but I let you down
                   Em       Am          D
I play the darkest symphony when you're around
D
When the walls come down...

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

[Outro]
              Em      Am    D
The end of my empire!
              Em      Am    D
The end of my empire!
              Em      Am    D
The end of my empire!
