Lời & hợp âm

[Intro 1]
[F]Now[Em] I lay me down to sleep
[Am]I pray the Lord [C]my soul to keep
[F]If I shall die bef[Em]ore I 'wake
I pray the [Am]Lord my soul to [C]take

[Chorus 1]
[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]shit, but I love it every [Am]time
And I [C]realize

[Verse 1]
I've tasted blood and it is [Am]sweet
I've had the [C]rug pulled beneath my [F]feet
I've trusted [Em]lies and trusted [Am]men
Broke down and put my[C]self
back together again
[F]Stared in the mirror and
[Em]punched it to shatters
Coll[Am]lected the pieces and [C]picked out a dagger
[F]I've pinched my skin in
bet[Em]ween my two fingers
And wished I could

[Pre-chorus 1]
cut some parts off with some scissors
[F]"Come on, little lady, [Em]give us a smile"
No, I [Am]ain't got nothin' to [C]smile about
I got [F]no one to smile for, I [Em]waited a while for
A [Am]moment to say I don't

[Chorus 2]
owe you a goddamn thing
[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]shit, but I love it every [Am]time
And I [C]realize

[Bridge 1]
I'm [F]no sweet dream, but I'm a
[Em]hell of a [Am]night[C]
That I'm [F]no sweet dream, but I'm a
[Em]hell of a [Am]night

[Verse 2]
[F]No, I won't smi[Em]le, but I'll show you my tee[Am]th
And I'ma let you [C]speak
if you just let me [F]breathe
I've been po[Em]lite, but won't be caught [Am]dead
Lettin' a man tell me [C]what I should do in my
[F]bed
Keep my exes in [Em]check in my basement
'Cause [Am]kindness is weakness, or
[C]worse, you're complacent
[F]I could play nice or I c[Em]ould be a bully

[Pre-chorus 2]
I'm tired and angry, but somebody should be
[F]"Come on, little lady, [Em]give us a smile"
No, I [Am]ain't got nothin' to [C]smile about
I got [F]no one to smile for, I [Em]waited a while for
A [Am]moment to say I don't

[Chorus 3]
owe you a goddamn thing
[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]shit, 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]shit, but I love it every [Am]time
And I [C]realize

[Bridge 2]
[F]Someone like [Em]me can be a
[Am]real nightmare, [C]completely aware
But [F]I'd rather be a [Em]real nightmare than
[Am]die unaware, yeah
[F]Someone like [Em]me can be a
[Am]real nightmare, [C]completely aware
But [F]I'm glad to [Em]be a
[Am]real nightmare, so save me your prayers

[Chorus 4]
[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]shit, 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]shit, but I love it every [Am]time
And I [C]realize

[Outro 1]
I'm [F]no sweet dream, but I'm a
[Em]hell of a [Am]night[C]
That I'm [F]no sweet dream, but I'm a
[Em]hell of a [Am]night[C]
