Verse:
G5ABm
You want to suffer and show me you're angry,
G5ABm
Fight with your fists up or call for your mommy
G5ABmBm
You want to suffer and show me you're angry
G5ABm
Spend time alone, find a stick in the basement
G5ABm
Drink water and gold dust and live on impatience.
G5ABm
Slaughtered for weakness, electric like static
G5ABm
Slaughtered, you're weak - there's no need to speak
Chorus:
E7A
You change your shoelaces
Bm
I light firecrackers
GBm
You step on the sparks
E7A
You change your shoelaces
BmG
I light firecrackers
ABAGBmG5ABm
I shouldn't be any great inspiration
G5Bm
I never got in your way
G5ABm
I should never have to chase you
G5ABm
You were the one who ran away
E7Bm
If you could feel the pain your confusion has caused me
GABm
You would have stopped before you spoke
E7ABm
Listening to lies, the pain doesn't suit me
E7ABm
He gift that you gave me, I put it away
E7ABm
I couldn't look at it, it made me think of you
Bm
You get in the way

Spend time alone, find a stick in the basement

G5ABm
Electric like static, and no need to speak.
G5ABm
It's not right but it's not wrong
G5Bm
So I wrote this song
G5ABm
So I wrote this song- is that what you want
E7ABm
You got what you want - does it make you feel better?
E7ABm
A smirk on your face and a gun at my head,
E7ABm
You come to my place and ask to be fed
