[Verse 2]
[D]How [Em]do you feel when the
[D]king has gotta lie [Bm]down
[D]When you found out and see tha[Em]t this is something
that could[D]n't work [Bm]out[D]
You thought that you'd be ready

[Verse 3]
But I knew that you always had your doubts
[D]I just wanted to be the o[Em]ne to[D] save you,
the one that knew [Bm]how[D]
But this [Em]all would have an e[D]nding,
it was so clear to see
'Cause you could[G]n't [D]wrap your

[Verse 4]
head around all the jealousy
[D]
That's why I'm calling check[Em]mate,
checkmate

'Cause you put up a wall around your
[Em]castle [D]and I just [A]can't climb [D]around

[Verse 8]
[D]I can hear you on the other s[G]ide
of [D]it, screaming
[Asus4]But you'r[D]e too afraid
to face the demons
So you let your heart [G]just
take [Em]the beat[D]ing
And I'm the one who [G]pays for [D]it,
think I [Em]gotta get
I'm calling [D]check

[Verse 9]

Oh I'm calling [Em]checkmate, checkmate
Girl you will [D]always lose when you choose
[Em]to make the moves you [D]make

[Verse 11]
And I [D]really [F#m]don't wanna

Girl, it's breaking my heart
[Bm]in two (in two)
Yes, I'd give [F#m]any th[Gm]ing to keep
on playing [Em]here with [D]you

[Verse 12]
And [D]maybe [F#m]we can pick these pie[G]ces up and start
again another day when things [Bm]have changed
But you left me [F#m]with no o[Gm]ther
moves to [Edim]choose[A][Gm]
