[Ebm]
Well, to keep from dying, hey, hey, I've been lying.
I've [Gb] shot a flow, and I've stolen wind.
Well, when we tried to build, and I lost my freedom,
My woman [B] was it [Eb] kind [B] to me, [Gb] so save some of [B] mine for me.
[Gb] If you're gonna give it up, don't [Abm] desert me,
[Gb] Cause leaving me, you know [Abm] it would hurt me.
Snake bits and loose up and spray,
Can't take the step of hurting the man.
[Ebm] Freeze, [Abm] stay freezing,
[Ebm] Unless you're period comes so easy.
Ain't no half this devil ever,
All alone,
I just don't, I just don't,
Soak up all in the shower.
[Abm] Hey, [Gb] now I came to be [Db] a back [Abm]-teeth sucker,
And I plan to stay up like mother fucker,
[Gm] Stepping in [Abm] the same living hell,
So [Db] I ain't [G] too proud [Ebm] to die here as well.
[B] [Eb]
[Ebm] I'm a hero,
[Bb]
[Ab] [B]
[Ab] [G] I'm a hero,
[Ebm]
[Abm] I'm a hero,
[G] You'll be locked to find [Gb] yourself craving,
[Abm] Check your wits and hope [Bbm] that you're dreaming,
[Ebm] You know this voice is all that I need,
And a piece of this crust will lie [Eb] me free.
[Bb] My woman's [Gb] standing naked [Bm] inside,
[Gb] And [Bbm] I'm out there [Gb] hoping I [Abm] take her there,
[Ebm] If a [Bbm] son of a [Ebm] bitch,
Make her [Gb] naked body call for [B] my name,
[Ebm] My woman [Abm] knew my passion of need,
[Gb] So save some of that [Abm] if you please,
[Ebm] Yeah, [Abm] baby, I hope you say,
If [Ebm] you leave me, baby, know [Db] you've [Abm] heard me.
[Ebm] Hey, do you want to stay in here?
Do you want to stay in here?
Do you want to stay in here?
Do you want to stay in here?
You'll be locked to find yourself craving,
Check your fears and hope that you're dreaming,
You know this [Gb] voice is all that I need,
And [Ebm] a piece of this crust will lie me free.
Snake, let's induce a disgrace,
Can't take the strength of [Bbm] iron and [Ebm] iron,
I'm standing up for sane living hell,
Ain't too proud to die here as well,
Do you want to stay in here?
Do you want to stay in here?
Do you want to stay in here?
Do you want to stay in here?
Do you want to stay in here?
Boo you got a spell
Boo you have a spell
Boo you have a spell Boo!
