Takes one to know one

Em
You've lived a haunted life
D
I've tried to imagine how I'd feel
B
If I was thrown into the public eye
Em
Before my wounds had healed
Em
The way you flashed us with your
D B
Scars and told us about your rules

Like we were students in your
Em
"how-to-be-dramatic" little school
Em
Now I can understand how
D B
After all that you've been through

You'd lock yourself inside
Em
Waiting for us to come and rescue you

But what I can't fathom is
D
While imprisoned in yourself
B
You wouldn't ever take a look around
Em
Just blame everyone else

Em - F# - F#m - Em
Em - F# - F#m - Em

Em D
Pulling the "look-at-me-I'm-hurt" card
B
Got you friends that wouldn't dare

Question any little tantrum
Em
No, halfway they would meet you there
Em D
Your lover fears your reactions
B
He's like a puppy on a leash
He doesn't tread outside your boundaries
Em
Without saying "please"
Em
Now I can understand how
D
Youd be scared to trust again
B
Seeing how fame would be a magnet
Em
For attention seeking friends
Em
But what I can't fathom is
D
If your friends lie to keep you calm
B
You wouldnt ever ask yourself
Em
Who they go that idea from

Em - F# - F#m - Em
Em - F# - F#m - Em
Gm - A - Am - Gm
Gm - A - Am - Gm

Em
I could be scared of you
D B
I would cater to your needs
Em
Your dominating ways, my overwhelming fear of conflict feeds
Em D
But I've learned not to get involved
B
By admitting more about myself
Em
Takes one to know one honey, trust me take a look inside yourself
