Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]Ooh, I'm not rea[C]dy[G][Em]
Ooh, I'm not [C]ready[G]
Ooh, I'm not [C]ready[G][Em]
Ooh, [C]I'm not [G]ready

[Verse 2]
[C]Snakes are biting at my [Em]heels
The worries that re[C]fuse to let us [D]go
[C]I've been kicking them [Em]away
Been hoping not to [C]let
them take con[D]trol

[Verse 3]
[C]Ooh, I'm not [Em]ready
[C]Drink to [Bm]escape their bites
[C]Show me dis[Em]traction
[C]Even for [Bm]just one night

[Verse 4]
'Cause it's [G]easier to [C]bury[G]
[B]My [Em]head in the sand some[C]time[G]s
Yes, it's easier to [C]bury[B]
[Em]My head in the sand so[C]metimes
[G]And I kno[Em]w, I know, I know
It's not [C]the right way to go
[G]But I pra[Em]y for the ground to
swallow me whole
[C][G]

[Verse 5]
Ooh, I'm not [C]ready
[B]Ooh, [Em]I'm not ready[C][G][D]

[Verse 6]
[C]Now these days are feeling
[Em]dark
We're struggling [C]to figure out last [D]year
[C]When the woman on [Em]the news keeps
saying things that [C]no one wants to [D]hear

[Verse 7]
[C]Ooh, I'm not [Em]ready
[C]Drink to [Bm]escape our minds
[C]Show me distra[Em]ction
[C]Even for [Bm]just one night

[Verse 8]
'Cause it's [G]easier to [C]bury[Em]
My head in the sand [C]some[G]times
Yes, it's easier to [C]bury[Em]
My head in the sand [C]sometimes
[G]And I kno[Em]w, I know, I know
It's [Am]not t[C]he right way to go
[G]But I p[Em]ray for the ground
to swallow me [C]whole
[G]Yes, I p[Em]ray for the ground
to swallow me whole
[C][G]

[Verse 9]
Ooh, I'm not [C]ready[G][B][Em]
Ooh, I'm not [C]ready[G]

[Verse 10]
"Come [C]on, boys. Let's [B]go tear
this [Em]place apart!"
[C][G]

[Verse 11]
'Cause I know,
'cause I [C]know life is simple when
[Em]I can just ignore it all[D]
'Cause [G]I know, 'cause I know,
'cause I know
[C]Life is simple when
[Em]I can just ignore it all[D]
'Cause I know, 'cause [G]I know,
'cause I know

[Verse 12]
If I'm not [G]ready
Snakes will consume me whole
If I'm not steady
Baby they'll take control

[Verse 13]
But it's [G]easier to [C]bury
[Em]My head in the sand so[C]meti[G]mes
Yes, it's easier to [C]bury[Em]
My head in the sand [C]sometimes
[G]I kno[Em]w, I know, I know
It's not [C]the right way to go
[G]But I p[Em]ray for the ground
to swallow me [C]whole
[G]Yes, I k[Em]now, I know, I know
It's not [C]the right way to go
[G]But I pra[Em]y for the ground
to swallow [C]me whole
[G]
