Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Em]My h[C]ead is underwater[Bm][Em]
And I can't see [C]the line
I guess you over[Bm]stepped [Em]it
But baby I'll be [C]fine

[Verse 2]
So go on, hold me [Bm]down
and [Em]flush
'Cause darling I ain't in a rush
And [C]I can hold my b[Bm]reath

[Verse 3]
Best not forget
[Em]I'm a bad lieutenant

[Verse 4]
God knows I've [Bm]had
enough tough [Em]love
'Nough blood, knees are bruised up
Ain't worried 'bout being down on my luck
If you [Bm]check I'm a diamond in the rough
If you knew me [Em]back in the day,
know what [C]I'm made of
And I'll call your bluff, what?

[Verse 5]
I'm a bad lieu[Bm]tenant
Call me crazy, I'm [Em]velvet
Already [C]told you I was made of bricks,
I'm cement
Got my girl gang, got my back girl dem
The [Bm]boys love me and I love them
I ain't got time if you ain't a friend
[Em]Talk back,[C] get yourself to the back then

[Verse 6]
What am I, what am [Bm]I,
what am I made [Em]of?
I'm a bad lieutenant
[C]What am I, what am I, [Bm]made of?[Em]

[Verse 7]
I'm a, I'm a bad lieutenant
[C]I've been thinking of [Bm]you[Em]
Been wondering where you've [C]been
If you bump in[Bm]to m[Em]e (oh!)
Forgive me for my [C]sins

[Verse 8]
God knows I've [Bm]had
enough tough [Em]love
'Nough blood, knees are bruised up
Ain't [C]worried 'bout being down on my luck
If you [Bm]check I'm a diamond in the rough
If you [Em]knew me back in the day,
know what I'm made of
And I'll [C]call your bluff, what?

[Verse 9]
I'm a bad lieu[Bm]tenant
Call me crazy, I'm velvet
[Em]Already told you I was[Bm] made of[Em] bricks,
I'm [Bm]cement
[C]Got my girl gang, got my back girl dem
The [Bm]boys love me and I love them
I ain't got time if you ain't a friend
[C]Talk back, get yourself
to the back then
[Em]I'm a
