[Intro]
F Now I lay E7me down to sleep
AmI pray the Lord, Cmy soul to keep
FIf I shall die E7before I wake
AmI pray the Lord, Cmy soul to take
[Chorus]
FI, I keep a E7record of the
Wreckage in my Amlife
I gotta Crecognize the weapon in my Fmind
They talk E7shit, but I love it every Amtime
And I Crealize
[Verse 1]
I've tasted blood and it is sweetAm I've had the rug C
pulled beneath my feet
F I've trusted E7lies and trusted men
Am Broke down and put myCself
Back together again
F Stared in the mirror E7and
Punched it to shatters
AmCollected the pieces and
CPicked out a dagger
FI've pinched my skin in
BetE7ween my two fingers
And wished I could cut
Some parts off with some scissors
[Pre-Chorus]
F"Come on, little lady, E7give us a smile"
No, I Amain't got nothin' to Csmile about
I got Fno one to smile for,
I E7waited a while for
A Ammoment to say
I don't owe you a goddamn Fthing
[Chorus]
I keep a E7record of the
Wreckage in my Amlife
I gotta Crecognize the weapon in my Fmind
They talk E7shit, but I love it every Amtime
And I Crealize

I'm Fno sweet dream,
But I'm a E7hell of a night
Am C That I'm Fno sweet dream,
But I'm a E7hell of a night Am C
[Verse 2]
F No, I won't E7smile,
But I'll show you my teeth
Am And I'm a let you speak C
If you just let me breathe
F I've been poE7lite,
But won't be caught dead
Am Lettin' a man tell me Cwhat
I should do with my Fbed
Keep my exes in E7check in my basement
'Cause Amkindness is weakness, or Cworse,
You're complacent
FI could play nice or
I E7could be a bully
I'm tired and angry,
But somebody should be
[Pre-Chorus]
F"Come on, little lady, E7give us a smile"

A Ammoment to say
I don't Cowe you a goddamn Fthing

They talk E7shit, but I love it every Amtime
And I Crealize

FSomeone like E7me can be a Amreal nightmare,
CompCletely aware
But FI'd rather E7be a Amreal nightmare,
