Intro
[F] [Em]
Now I lay me down to sleep
[Am] [C]
I pray the Lord, my soul to keep
[F] [Em]
If I shall die before I wake
[Am] [C]
I pray the Lord, my soul to take
Chorus
[F] [Em] [Am]
I, I keep a record of the wreckage of my life
[C] [F]
I gotta recognize the weapon in my mind
[Em] [Am]
They talk shit, but I love it every time
[C]
And I realize
Verse 1
N.C. [Am]
I've tasted blood and it is sweet
[C] [F]
I've had the rug pulled beneath my feet
[Em] [Am]
I've trusted lies and trusted men
[C] N.C. [F]
Broke down and put myself back together again
[Em]
Stared in the mirror and punched it to shatters
[Am] [C]
Collected the pieces and picked out a dagger
[F] [Em]
I've pinched my skin in between my two fingers
N.C.
And wished I could cut some parts off with some scissors
Pre-Chorus
[F] [Em]
Come on little lady, give us a smile
[Am] [C]
No, I ain't got nothin' to smile about
[F] [Em]
I got no one to smile for, I waited a while for
[Am] N.C.
A moment to say I don't owe you a Goddamn thing

Verse 2
[F] [Em] [Am]
No, I won't smile, but I'll show you my teeth
[C] [F]
And I'ma let you speak if you just let me breathe
[Em] [Am]
I've been polite, but won't be caught dead
[C] N.C. [F]
Lettin' a man tell me what I should do in my bed
[Em]
Keep my exes in check in my basement
[Am] [C]
'Cause kindness is weakness, or worse, you're complacent

I could play nice or I could be a bully
N.C.
I'm tired and angry, but somebody should be
