Verse 1
C       Am
I’m the failure 
    Em         G
I’m everyone’s fool 
        C         Am          Em  G
And I’m losing my cool at the end
C       Am
I’m the loser 
   Em           G
My numbers come up 
          C              Am          Em
I’ve been hung up with thoughts of revenge

Revenge, revenge
 
Chorus 1
C  Am      Em  G
   Oh whoa oh
 
Verse 2
C         Am          Em       G
I watched you from my terminal view
       C             Am          Em  G
As you struggled to rise to your end
C          Am          Em         G
I laughed hard at the insults we through
       C             Am          Em
As the weight of the world found revenge
  G         C
Revenge, revenge

The world hung upside down
    Fmaj         Am
And I drew first blood
Fmaj         F
I drew first blood
Am      Gmaj       C
With my hate for a crown
Fmaj         Am
I drew first blood
Fmaj         F
I drew first blood
  G
Revenge 
 
Verse 3
C         Am     Em    G
I watched heaven dying today
    C            Am           Em  G
And I’m going to die here tonight
C       Am          Em          G
I’m the villain I deserve to be dead
          C           Am          Em
I’ve been hung up for wrecking my life
  G         C
Revenge, revenge
 
Chorus 2
 
Bridge
F                  G                     Am7
So I stopped for a moment to look at the Son
G     F
Dying today
                      G
That’s when the irony hit me
                E
That this was revenge
                 A5           G        F     G   Em
That love had descended and stolen our pain away
 
Channel 2
Am    Gmaj           C
We consumed heaven’s Son
    Fmaj         Am
And I drew first blood
Fmaj         F
I drew first blood
Am Gmaj       C
My hate was undone
Fmaj         Am
I drew first blood
Fmaj         F
I drew first blood
  G
Revenge 
 
Verse 4
C        Am
Here’s a story
      Em             G
How a thief had been robbed
      C          Am        Em   G
How a murder had stolen my rage
C           Am
Think of me Lord
      Em           G
I’m a few breaths away
      C             Am           Em
As my lungs finally rip from the cage
  G         C   Am  Em  G
Revenge, revenge
 
Outro
