G Am
He broke in my heart and took my gold
G Am
And after all that I've been told
C Am
Horror stories that I read
C Am
While mom was putting me to bed
G Am
I put a lock on every door
G Am
He wants to get inside I'm sure
C Am
He's only there to mess around
C Am
Be the talking of the town
D Cadd9 G
A thief, burning my whole world down
D Cadd9 G
A thief, turning my whole world around
G Am
I know I've failed every test
G Am
He knew which button he could press
C Am
My heart it beats out of my chest
C Am
It's never getting any rest
G Am
Didn't want him to see me cry
G Am
But every word became a lie
C Am
Only he can read my mind
C Am
His every touch is like a crime
D Cadd9 G
A thief, burning my whole world down
D Cadd9 G
A thief, turning my whole world around
Am Em
Tell me what am I to do
Am
Better watch her
Em
Tell me who to talk too
Am
Talk to a doctor
Em
I really wanna quit loving you
E
It won't matter
F
So why am I talking you in
G
To letting you still break in
D Cadd9 G
A thief, burning my whole world down
D Cadd9 G
A thief, turning my whole world around
D Cadd9 G
A thief, burning my whole world down
D Cadd9 G
A thief, turning my whole world around
End on G
