Guitar chords with lyrics

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

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 knife

         F                         Em              Am       C
That I'm no sweet dream, but I'm a hell of a knife


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 knife

         F                         Em              Am       C
That I'm no sweet dream, but I'm a hell of a knife
