  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
