          Am               Dm
Hold on a second ma’am without a care
                           E
The clothes you wear don’t give a damn
Am              Dm
Sleeping up and down the block
                        E
They got you knocked up by a man
Am                  Dm
Thinking you’re the mother mary
              E
Pure but very dumb and can’t
Am            Dm
Kick the dick from out your mouth
                E
But do you even understand?
Am Dm Dm E 2x
          Am             Dm
Hold on a moment sir without a heart
                      E
What kind of shit you tryin’ to sell?
Am           Dm
Talking up a simple girl
                     E
Ya picked her cherry very well
Am            Dm
Promising the sun and moon
                   E
The story that you always tell
Am                 Dm
Now you’re out the door?!
                            E
I hope you cherry pick your way to hell

Am                 Dm
“When’s it coming? Can’t recall
                 E
Oh mirror mirror on the wall”
Am             Dm
Sex and bitter cynicism
                   E
Laughing, watch it start to fall
Am              Dm
Picture perfect pandering
                   E
Pathetic, made you miserable
Am                 Dm
Though I shouldn’t care
                           E               Am
I couldn’t wait to finally see them all in hell
      N.C.
(I’ll drag them as we crawl)

Am           C                   F                   E
Ah, doing it right, feeling that high, taking what’s mine
           Am        C
And I feel just fine
                F                E                   Am
You took it all away so now this hero cries in pain
            C                   F                 E
Holding you tight, fighting all night, telling me why
            Am       C
But I can’t rewrite
               F               E            A#
The memories I made of you and me, won’t go away
Am Dm Dm E 2x
           Am                Dm
Covered in cuts from head to toe
                       E
A kinky kind of crazy, not enough
Am              Dm
Can you feel it too?
                             E
The kind of pain made out of real love
Am             Dm
See the needy, greedy me
                    E
We bleed to feed so easily?
Am     N.C.
Idiocracy she breathes

We need to teach her everything!
Am Dm Dm E 2x
Am                  Dm
Don’t ya know, it’s time to go?
                E
“So hurry up or fall behind!”
Am                      Dm
Don’t know what they’re talkin’ bout?
                     E
“Well strap on in, enjoy the ride!”
Am                Dm
Can’t see what’s ahead at all?
                     E
“I guess we’re gonna travel blind!”

Am                 N.C.
Though I shouldn’t care at all
                                Am
I’m just a drop of water in the sea

(And that’s a part of life)

Am              C                  F                E
Ah, changing my face, bearing that pain, joy that I made
              Am    C
And you threw away
             F                E                        Am
The heroine alone and weeping all throughout the night
         C                F                   E
Feeling okay, talking all day, repeating that play
              Am         C
But they just won't fade
                F               E
The memories we made of you and me, l couldn't fight
Am C F E 4x
Am                 C
Poker face but the lies you buried deep were found
F                  E
Run away but there will be blood to go around
Am                  C
Try to hide but the scars will open up again
F                     A#
“Didn't like but it's gonna hurt you in the end”

Am         C                    F                  E
Take it in stride, meeting your eyes, planning all night
         Am            C
Remember those times?
           F               E                 Am
Wallowing away in things I know I just can’t change
            C                 F                E
Laughing at jokes, getting so close, didn’t we know
               Am       C
That time goes so slow?
                 F      E
The memories are fading
                    F   E Am
I’ll say goodbye to every-thing
Am Dm Dm E 4x
End on Am
