Intro: Abm E B Gb

Verse 1:
   Abm                        E
I threw away the evidence and every little trace
    B                             Gb
By now, it should be evident that I'm the one to blame
  Abm                           E
I own the conflagration, it was I who lit the flame
         B                Gb
Then I flushed all of my matches down the drain

Pre-Chorus:
       Abm          E             B      Gb
Oh, I know there's no excuse for what I did
Abm      E           B          Gb
So the only thing I can do is admit

Chorus:
            Abm
I was the arsonist
             E                                B
The one who burned us to the ground after the argument
     Gb                         E
Set fire to the room with our hearts in it
                                            B
And though I said that you're the one who started it
    Gb
I started it
             Abm
I was the arsonist
              E                             B
But now I'll make it up to you for all the darkness
         Gb                                E
For everything I put you through, let me start with this
    E
I started it
          B                             Gb
Now I'll build back that room with our hearts in it
           Abm
I was the arsonist

Post-Chorus:
E                B                           Gb
Um, dum-dum-dum-dum-dum-dum, um, da-da, um, dum

Verse 2:
     Abm                                 E
I'm siftin' through the rubble and the ashes all around
  B                            Gb
Liftin' with my shovel as it crashes through the ground
       Abm                               E
I'm reminded that the trouble, all the trouble that surrounds
    B                Gb
Is my fault and I'm here to fix it now

Pre-Chorus:
       Abm          E             B      Gb
Oh, I know there's no excuse for what I did
Abm      E           B          Gb
So the only thing I can do is admit

Chorus:
            Abm
I was the arsonist
             E                                B
The one who burned us to the ground after the argument
     Gb                         E
Set fire to the room with our hearts in it
                                            B
And though I said that you're the one who started it
    Gb
I started it
             Abm
I was the arsonist
              E                             B
But now I'll make it up to you for all the darkness
         Gb                                E
For everything I put you through, let me start with this
    E
I started it
          B                             Gb

           Abm
I was the arsonist

Post-Chorus:
E                B                           Gb
Um, dum-dum-dum-dum-dum-dum, um, da-da, um, dum
            Abm
I was the arsonist
E                B                           Gb

Bridge:
Dbm
I'll pay the fine, do the time, leave that person behind
Gb E                                        Gb
  Burn away the past and move past all my crime

Chorus:
            Abm
I was the arsonist
             E                                B
The one who burned us to the ground after the argument
     Gb                         E
Set fire to the room with our hearts in it
                                            B
And though I said that you're the one who started it
    Gb
I started it
             Abm
I was the arsonist
              E                             B
