B5                                 A5                  
  My bodyguard shows her revolver to anyone who asks
B5                                 A5                                              
  And yeah she comes to attention when you come up to me too fast
B5                                   A5                           
  For a little while you'll be here, the only good part of me
B5                                     A5                                     
  For a little while you'll be here

        E5        B5             A5                      
So lit up, lit up, lit up alright
   A5                              
I try to untie Manhattan
     E5       B5              A5            
Lit up, lit up, lit up alright
   A5                                    
I try to untie

       B5                        
  You wear skirt like a flag
       A5                         
  And everything surrounds you, and it doesn't fade
       B5                           
  Nothing like this sound I make
        A5                       
  That only lasts the season
                    B5                              A5    
  And only heard by bedroom kids who buy for that reason
                 B5                      A5            
  Cuz you're the low life of the party, bad blood
   B5                     
  Bad blood for everybody
          A5                     
  I'm in control and I believe

   E5           B5             A5         
So lit up, lit up, lit up alright
    A5                      
I try to untie Manhattan
    E5      B5                A5     
Lit up, lit up, lit up alright
                          E5         B5       A5
I try to untie from your bad blood
           E5        B5    A5
From your bad blood

               E5         B5            A5         
Cuz you're the low life of the party, bad blood
 E5               B5       
Bad blood for everybody
     A5                       
I'm in control and I believe

     E5                B5                   A5  
So lit up, lit up, lit up, lit up alright
    A5                    
I try to untie Manhattan
     E5             B5                 A5    
Lit up, lit up, lit up, lit up alright
   A5             E5
I try to untie
