F#
Always said I was a good kid
Always said I had a way with words
Never knew I could be speechless
Don’t know how I’ll ever break this curse

F#m                   C#m    B
Now the world is only white noise
F#m                      C#m    B
Frequencies that I can't understand
F#m                          C#m  B
I can't be bothered with the teachers
F#m                        C#m   B
Always trying to shape the way I act

F#m                    B
Burn it down, burn it down,
         B7            F#m B7   B6
burn it down, burn it down

I’ll set fire to the whole place
I don’t even care about our house
It’s not the same in here since he left anyways

Burn it down, burn it down,
burn it down, burn it down

Chorus:
F#m                  E       B
Always said I was a good kid
F#m                  E        B
Always said I had a way with words
F#m                     E       B
Never knew I could be speechless
F#m                        E         B
Don't know how I'll ever break this curse

Now the world is only white noise
Frequencies that I can’t understand
I can’t be bothered with the teachers
Always trying to shape the way I act

Burn it down, burn it down,
burn it down, burn it down

C#m                    A     B
Momma told me all of this is
C#m                      E      B
Just a place we have to settle for
C#m                     A     B
Less than anything we dream on
C#m       B            A   F#m   C#m
We'll continue to be disappointed

C#m                  A            B
I feel down, I feel down, I feel down,
        C#m E B
I feel down
C#m                  A            B
I feel down, I feel down, I feel down,
        C#m E B
I feel down

C#m                     E
Burn it down, burn it down,
          B             C#m   E  B
burn it down, burn it down
C#m                     E
Burn it down, burn it down,
         B           C#m
burn it down, burn it
 E        B     C#m
Burn it, burn it
