BB
You, with your words like knives
G+G
And swords and weapons that you use against me
G# minorG#m BB G+G
You have knocked me off my feet again
Got me feelin' like a nothing
G# minorG#m BB G+G
You, with your voice like nails on a chalkboard
Calling me out when I'm wounded
G# minorG#m BB G+G
You, pickin' on the weaker man

Well, you can take me down

With just one single blow

I just wanna feel okay again
