[Verse 1]
EmI've been a criminal, I made a mistake
Believed in the fictional

Drowned in the muddy waters
And I'm living in Cmy worst fears
Begging you bBack through tears

EmAnd now I have shattered your dreams
BI know the drill and I know the truth
And it kills me

The Emone thing I'm good at is messing up somebody eClse
CmBaby, I'm guilty

[Intro]

Em C B

[Verse 1]

I've been a criminal, I made a mistake

Believed in the fictional

Then let everything slip away

I can't accept my faith

Thought the alternative looked so crystal clear

Drowned in the muddy waters

And I'm living in my worst fears

Begging you back through tears

[Pre-Chorus]

You had this picture of me

And now I have shattered your dreams

I know the drill and I know the truth

And it kills me

Yeah, I'm guilty

Don't come near me

Baby, I'm guilty as hell

Wishing I could be home

But I'm locked out and it's my fault

Graze's with added salt

Thought I would be okay without you and I

Em C

Now that I realize it was all just an awful lie

Take me back, I might die

Yeah, I'm guilty

Don't come near me
