Verse 1:
F5                  A5
  Tell me off in a letter
             D5     A5
Completely ignore me
F5                     A5
  Getting high off of saying
               D5
Why you don't adore me?
Bb5   C5      F5   A5   G5

All of your time just to hate me
F5                    A5
  Every dime gone to ways
                        D5
You can find that might bait me

Machine gun

Verse 2:
F5
  Locked and loaded
       A5
You're practically 
          D5  C5
floating away now
F5                      A5
  In your fortress you feel like
                    D5
You're more or less safe now
    Bb5           F5     A5   G5
But let me say I don't mean harm
Bb5     F5 C5           Bb5  F5
Oh but ba--by you'd be charming 
         F5          Bb5
if you'd come undone
                    Eb5
Get back where you started from


(Repeat Chorus 1)


Bridge:
Bb5                      C#5
   Never mind how you've rationed your time
        Eb5
And the battle is underway
Ab5 Ab5    C#5    Ab5 C#5
May-----be times are  gonna change
Bb5           C#5
   Don't just hide in the silence behind
            Eb5                    F- - Am-- x2
What you've really been trying to say


Verse 3:
F5         A5        G5        Bb5
  What a skill baby aiming to kill me
     F5             Bb5 Eb5
With words you don't mean

  Maybe nobody loved you
                   Eb5       
when you were young
Ab5      Ab5
  Maybe boy when you 
C#5      Eb5      C#5
cry nobody ever comes
Bb5                F5
   Will you try it once?
