[Intro]F Em Now I lay me down to sleepAm C I pray the Lord, my soul to keepF Em If I shall die before I wakeAm C I pray the Lord, my soul to take [Chorus]F Em Am I, I keep a record of the wreckage of my lifeC F I gotta recognize the weapon in my mindEm Am They talk shit, but I love it every timeC And I realize [Verse 1]Am I've tasted blood and it is sweetC F I've had the rug pulled beneath my feetEm Am I've trusted lies and trusted menC F Broke down and put myself back together againEm Stared in the mirror and punched it to shattersAm C Collected the pieces and picked out a daggerF Em I've pinched my skin in between my two fingers And wished I could cut some parts off with some scissors [Pre-Chorus]F Em Come on little lady, give us a smileAm C No, I ain't got nothin' to smile aboutF Em I got no one to smile for, I waited a while forAm a moment to say I don't owe you a Goddamn thing [Chorus]F Em Am I, I keep a record of the wreckage of my lifeC F I gotta recognize the weapon in my mindEm Am They talk shit, but I love it every timeC And I realize [Post-Chorus]F Em Am C I'm no sweet dream but I'm a hell of a nightF Em Am C That I'm no sweet dream, but I'm a hell of a night [Verse 2]F Em Am No, I won't smile, but I'll show you my teethC F And I'ma let you speak if you just let me breatheEm Am I've been polite, but won't be caught deadC F Lettin' a man tell me what I should do in my bedEm Keep my exes in check in my basementAm C 'Cause kindness is weakness, or worse, you're complacentF Em I could play nice or I could be a bully I'm tired and angry, but somebody should be [Pre-Chorus]F Em Come on little lady, give us a smileAm C No, I ain't got nothin' to smile aboutF Em I got no one to smile for, I waited a while forAm a moment to say I don't owe you a Goddamn thing [Chorus]F Em Am I, I keep a record of the wreckage of my lifeC F I gotta recognize the weapon in my mindEm Am They talk shit, but I love it every timeC And I realizeF Em Am I, I keep a record of the wreckage of my lifeC F I gotta recognize the weapon in my mindEm Am They talk shit, but I love it every timeC And I realize [Bridge]F Em Am C Someone like me can be a real nightmare, completely awareF Em Am C But I'd rather be a real nightmare, than die unaware, yeahF Em Am C Someone like me can be a real nightmare, completely awareF Em Am But I'm glad to be a real nightmare, so save me your prayers [Chorus]F Em Am I, I keep a record of the wreckage of my lifeC F I gotta recognize the weapon in my mindEm Am They talk shit, but I love it every timeC And I realizeF Em Am I, I keep a record of the wreckage of my lifeC F I gotta recognize the weapon in my mindEm Am They talk shit, but I love it every timeC And I realize [Post-Chorus]F Em Am C I'm no sweet dream but I'm a hell of a nightF Em Am C That I'm no sweet dream, but I'm a hell of a night
