          G         D   C          G              D       C
You got a dangerous background, in everything you dreamed of
      G               D C             G             D     C
Yeah, you're the dark angel, it don't show when you break up

    Em              D       G          Em               D      C
But I'm the one who oughtta know, yeah I'm the one left in the dust
D
I'm the broken-hearted fool, who was never quite enough

|   C        D G              C             D G
|Oh I'm an insider, I've been burned by the fire
|       Em                         C
|Oh and I've had to live with some hard promises
|  D                                       Am7 G
|I've crawled through the briars, I'm an insid-er

       G           D  C            G       D    C
It's a circle of deception, it's a hall of strangers
      G               D     C            G        D  C
Yeah, it's a cage without a key, you can feel the danger

    Em              D       G          Em          D        C
But I'm the one who oughtta know, yeah I'm the you couldn't trust
D
I'm the lonely silent one, I'm the one left in the dust


Refrain

       C          D          G
Whoa - oh, whoa - oh, whoa - oh
       C          Em         D
Whoa - oh, whoa - oh, whoa - oh

    G                D     C         G                D       C
Oh, I bet you're his masterpiece, oh I bet you're his self-control
      G                 D   C       G              D         C
Yeah, you'll become his legacy, his quiet world of white and gold

        Em              D       G     Em              D       C
Oh, but I'm the one who oughtta know, I'm the one you left to rust
D
Not one of your twisted friends, I'm the one you couldn't love


Refrain
         Am7 G 
I'm an insid-er
