finally the world will know you're guilty, (know you're wrong)
D Asus2 Bm
of taking everything you've gotten from me

If youre gonna rip my heart out,
could you use a knife thats dull and rust in color.
(Once I die) there will be no way that you can cover,
that scar.
Its hard. I know.
And if I get a little blood on you,
finally the world will know youre guilty,
(know you're wrong)
of taking everything youve gotten from me
no heart, its hard. I know.
Mighty king of avondale
I just can't let this go.
Real life ain't no fairy tale
I just thought you should know.
When youre finished with the surgery
I really hope that you will turn to me
and tell me all about the fun you had
when you were cutting up, you were cutting up.
Mighty king of avondale
I just can't let this go.
Real life ain't no fairy tale
I just thought you should know.
Living like a fairy tale the
mighty king of avondale it all went to his head, this royalty.
I stuck a knife into his back. Inventiveness is what I lack.
Hes always hanging up on loyalty.
Mighty king of avondale
I just can't let this go
real life ain't no fairy tale I just thought you should know.
