Insider chords by Tom Petty And The Heartbreakers

Standard Tuning (EADGBe)

I found this out by watching Tom Petty and Stevie Nicks performance of this song on
youtube. It may not be 100% right, but it sounds alright playing along to the track.


Verse 1:
     Cadd9
You got a dangerous background
  Cadd9
In everything you dreamed of
    Cadd9
Yeah, you're the dark angel
     Cadd9
It don't show when you break up

Pre-Chorus 1:
  Cadd9
But I'm the one who oughtta know
   Cadd9
Yeah I'm the one left in the dust
D
I'm the broken hearted fool
D
Who was never quite enough

Chorus:
Cadd9
I'm an insider
    Cadd9
I been burned by the fire
    Am
Oh and I've had to live with some hard promises
D
I've crawled through the briars,
G
I'm an insider


Verse 2:
    Cadd9
It's a circle of deception
   Cadd9
It's a hall of strangers
   Cadd9
Yeah, it's a cage without a key
    Cadd9
You can feel the danger
Pre-Chorus 2:
   Cadd9
But I'm the one who oughtta know
Cadd9

Whoa - oh

Verse 3:
   Cadd9
I bet you're his masterpiece
   Cadd9
Oh, I bet you're his self-control
   Cadd9
Yeah, you'll become his legacy
    Cadd9
In his quiet world of white and gold


Pre-Chorus 3:
    Cadd9
Oh, but I'm the one who oughtta know
Cadd9
I'm the one you left to rust

Not one of your twisted friends
D
I'm the one you couldn't love
