Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[E][C]
[E][C][Am][E]

[Verse 1]
Cross my [E]heart,
broke your promise, [Em]told me lies
Why [E]did you
Watch me suffer,
make me [Em]feel like I de[D]served [E]to
Everybody takes, everybody breaks somebody's
[Em]heart leaving some on [Am]their own[E]
But this felt more like you ripping
[Em]flesh from bone
You made [C]a mess out of me
Where do I begin?
[D]You paid for your sins

[Verse 2]
Like a [Em]reckoning
You never saw coming
I'm the [C]reaper outside your [D]door
You took [Em]everything made me
feel less than nothing
I'm [C]getting what I came [D]for
Like [Em]the sound of all the stars
crashing in the dark
[C]I said a prayer and buried your [D]name
And up through the [C]ashes
I rose like [D]wildfire

[Verse 3]
The [E]reckoning

[Verse 4]
[E]
I gave you more than my heart
could [Em]hope for
You mis[A]used [E]it
Scraped up every piece that
fell [Em]to the floor
When you [A]tore through it
[E]Laying me to ruin
You knew what you were doing
[D]Leaving me [Em]to skin and
[G]bone[D][E]
But trusting you was [Em]no
one's fault but my own
[Am]You get what [C]you [Am]give
So take your last breath
Be[D]fore I lay you to rest

[Verse 5]
Like a [Em]reckoning
You never saw coming
I'm the [C]reaper outside [D]your door
You took [Em]everything made me
feel less than nothing
I'm [C]getting what I came [D]for
Like the [Em]sound of all the
stars crashing in the dark
I [C]said a prayer and buried your name
[D]And up through the ash[C]es
I rose like [D]wildfire

[Verse 6]
[C]I should have known better than that
I [G]should have known all [Bm]along
[C]I should have known better than that
I [D]should have known
But now I'm moving on
[C]

[Verse 7]
[D][Em]
Like a reckoning
You never saw coming
I'm the [C]reaper outside [D]your door
You took [Em]everything made me
feel less than nothing
I'm [C]getting what I came [D]for
Like the [Em]sound of all the
stars crashing in the dark
I [C]said a prayer and buried your name
[D]And up through the ash[C]es
I rose like [D]wildfire

[Verse 8]
The [Em]reckoning
You [C]never saw coming
You [D]never saw me coming
The [Em]reckoning
I'm the [C]reaper outside your door
[D]I am the rec[Em]koning
[C]For every wro[D]ng you ever did to [Em]me[C]
[D]I am the [Bm]reck [Em]onin[E]g
