[INTRO]

F
Em
Now I lay me down to sleep
Am               C
I pray the Lord, my soul to keep
F
If I shall die before I 'wake
  Am                   C
I pray the Lord, my soul to take

F             Em                            Am
I, I keep a record of the wreckage in 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]
                             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                     F
Broke down and put myself back together again

F                         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
Em
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
A moment to say I don't owe you a goddamn thing

F           Em                               Am
I, I keep a record of the wreckage in my life
           C                       F
I gotta recognize the weapon in my mind
           Em                       Am
They talk shit, but I love it every time
Am        C
And I realize
 
[POST-CHORUS]
       F                       Em            Am G
I'm no sweet dream, but I'm a hell of a night
             F                       Em            Am G
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
Am                  C                      F
And I'ma let you speak if you just let me breathe
F            Em                        Am
I've been polite, but won't be caught dead
                       C                       F
Lettin' a man tell me what I should do with my bed
F                  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
      Am
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
A moment to say I don't owe you a goddamn thing


[CHORUS]
F           Em                               Am

[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                  C
But I'm glad to be a real nightmare, so save me your prayers
