[Intro]
[F]
[Em]Now I lay me down to slee[Am]p
I pray the Lord, my [C]soul to keep
[F]If I shall die be[Em]fore I βwake
I pray the [Am]Lord, my soul to [C]take
[Chorus]
[F]I, I keep a [Em]record of the wreckage
of my [Am]life
I gotta [C]recognize the weapon in my [F]mind
They talk [Em]sh*t, but I love it every [Am]time
And I [C]realize [N.C]
[Verse 1]
Iβve tasted blood and it is
swee[Am]t
Iβve had the [C]rug pulled beneath
my fee[F]t
Iβve trusted [E]lies and trusted [Am]men
Broke down and put my[C]self back together a[F]gain
Stared in the mirror and [Em]punched it to shatters
Co[Am]llected the pieces and [C]picked out a dagger
[F]Iβve pinched my skin in be[Em]tween my two fingers
[N.C]And wished I could cut some parts off with some scissors
[Pre-Chorus]
[F]βCome on, little lady, [Em]give us a smileβ
No, I [Am]ainβt got nothinβ to [C]smile about
I got [F]no one to smile for, I [Em]waited a while for
A [Am]moment to say I donβt [N.C]owe you a goddamn
[F]thing
[Chorus]
I, I keep a [Em]record of the wreckage of
my [Am]life
I gotta [C]recognize the weapon in my [F]mind
They talk [Em]sh*t, but I love it every [Am]time
And I [C]realize
[Post-Chorus]
[F]Iβm no sweet dream, but Iβm a hell of a night[Am]
That Iβm [F]no sweet dream, but Iβm a [A]hell of a night
[Am] [C]
[Verse 2]
[F]No, I wonβt [Em]smile, but Iβll show you my tee[Am]th
And Iβma let you s[C]peak if you just let me brea[F]the
Iβve been po[Em]lite, but wonβt be caught dead
[Am]Lettinβ a man tell me [C]what I should do in my [F]bed
Keep my exes in [Em]check in my basement
βCause [Am]kindness is weakness, or worse, youβre [C]complacent
[F]I could play nice or I [Em]could be a bully
Iβm tired and angry, but somebody should be
[Pre-Chorus]
[F]βCome on, little lady, [Em]give us a smileβ
No, I [Am]ainβt got nothinβ to [C]smile about
I got [F]no one to smile for, I [Em]waited a while for
A [Am]moment to say I donβt [N.C]owe you a goddamn
[F]thing
[Chorus]
I, I keep a [Em]record of the wreckage of
my [Am]life
I gotta [C]recognize the weapon in my [F]mind
They talk [Em]sh*t, but I love it every [Am]time
And I [C]realize
[F]I, I keep a [Em]record of the wreckage of
my [Am]life
I gotta [C]recognize the weapon in my [F]mind
They talk [Em]sh*t, but I love it every [Am]time
And I [C]realize
[Bridge]
[Am]Someone [F]like me can [Em]be a [Am]real nightmare,
com[C]pletely aware
But [F]Iβd rather [Em]be a [Am]real nightmare,
than die [C]unaware, yeah
[F]Someone like [Em]me can be a [Am]real nightmare,
com[C]pletely aware
But [F]Iβm glad to [Em]be a [Am]real nightmare,
so [N.C]save me your prayers
[Chorus]
[F]I, I keep a [Em]record of the wreckage of
my [Am]life
I gotta [C]recognize the weapon in my [F]mind
They talk [Em]sh*t, but I love it every [Am]time
And I [C]realize
[F]I, I keep a [Em]record of the wreckage of
my [Am]life
I gotta [C]recognize the weapon in my [F]mind
They talk [Em]sh*t, but I love it every [Am]time
And I [C]realize
[Post-Chorus]
Iβm [F]no sweet dream, but Iβm a hell
of a [Em]night[Am]
That Iβm [F]no sweet dream, but Iβm a hell
of a night [Am]
