[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
[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
[Post-Chorus]
F Em Am C I'm no sweet dream but I'm a hell of a night F Em Am C That I'm no sweet dream, but I'm a hell of a night
[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 F Em I could play nice or I could be a bully
N.C.
I'm tired and angry, but somebody should be
[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
[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 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
[Bridge]
F Em Am C Someone like me can be a real nightmare, completely aware F Em Am C But I'd rather be a real nightmare, than die unaware, yeah F Em Am C Someone like me can be a real nightmare, completely aware F Em Am N.C. But I'm glad to be a real nightmare, so save me your prayers
[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 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
[Post-Chorus]
F Em Am C I'm no sweet dream but I'm a hell of a night F Em Am C That I'm no sweet dream, but I'm a hell of a night
