[Intro]
F E Am C F Em Am C
[Verse 1]
N.C.I've tasted blood and it is Amsweet
I've had the Cmrug pulled beneath my Ffeet
I've trusted Emlies and trusted Ammen
Broke down and put myCself back together Fagain
Stared in the mirror and Em7punched it to shatters
Am7Collected the pieces and Ampicked out a dagger
FI've pinched my skin in between myEm two fingers
N.C.And wished I could cut some parts off with some scissors
[Pre-Chorus]
F"Come on, little lady, Emgive us a smile"
No, I Amain't got nothin' to smile aboCut
I Fgot no one to smile for, EmI waited a while for
AmA moment to say I don't owe you a goddamn Fthing
[Chorus]
I keep Ema record of the wreckage in my Amlife
I gotta Crecognize the weapon in my Fmind
They talk Emshit, but I love it Amevery time
And I Crealize
[Post-Chorus]
GI'm no sweet dream, but I'm a Ghell of a nightAm C
CThat FI'm no sweet dream, but I'm Em7a hell of a nightAm Em
[Verse 2]
FNo, I won't Emsmile, but I'll show you my Am7teeth
And I'ma let you Amspeak if you just let me Fbreathe
I've been polEm7ite, but won't be caught deadAm
Lettin' a man tell me Gwhat I should do with my Fbed
Keep my exes Emin check in my basement
Am'Cause kindness is weakness, Cor worse, you're complacent
FI could play nice or EmI could be a bully
N.C.I'm tired and angry, but somebody should be
[Pre-Chorus]
"FCome on, little lady, Emgive us a smile"
