see faces and traces of the horrible [D] I'm sitting uh
so
[C] [G]
[D] you think
I'm a tough kid
that's [G]
what you heard
say what [D] I have to say so action
and I [G] didn't get sent to my blood
they [D] call me the trailblazer
ran and made three [G] claims
I'm a picture in a chain gang
we thought I was missing anything
[D] cause we wanted a strong
yes we wanted a strong
as [G] the weakest link
in the chain
I [D] was just seventeen
[C] I had [G] to get an I.L.P.
if you know what I mean
what [Dm] I mean
[Em] [D] you [C] [Bbm] [Dm]
[E] [D] [C] [Bbm] [D] [Bm] [A]
[D] say I must be crazy
[C] cause I don't [G] care who I hit
who I hit
[D] but I know this ain't a shitty house
full [C] [G] of shit
[D] I don't care who I hurt
I don't care who I do wrong
[C] this is your mess
I suck [G] in
I live on and on
[D] when I'm back with gasoline
[G] you can tell
by [C] the nightfall [G] living
has to [Dm] be nasty
[D] as [Bm] [A]
[D] [G] [Dm] I [Am] hold you back
[Dm]
you said [Am] I'm not going to [Dm] play with you
held my [Am] heart deep in [Dm] hand
now you [Am] shake, shake it up
[Dm] No [Dm] [Am] time head to stake with y [Bb]'all
[Am] something's just not ready for me [Dm] NO!
[Em] [Dm] No [Am] time
for romance to [Dm] stake with y'all
[Am] something's just not ready for [F] me NO!
[Dm] [Dm] No [Am] time No time
No time head to [Gm] stake with y'all
[Am] Something's just not ready for [Dm] [A] me
[Ab] [A] Yeah!!!
[Ab] [A] I'm a big goat, [Ab]
[A] I'm a big goat, [Ab] [A] I'm a big goat
[Dm] [Dm] [Gm]
[D] You're sitting in your comforts, the thought of you not real
[C] Mad at protection, [G] I'm aware of how I feel
[D]
Dominance and hypocrisy, and out there trash
But [C] it was me in the first place, [G] so I put it to rest
[D] And I faced them off with strong ass beats
And laid them down in colored [C] sheets
[G] Laying them down in colored sheets
[D] Being cool, being a loser, a bad affect
[Am] I'm walking [C] in the streets [G] with my man like, connection, [Dm] [D] connection
Fuck [Bm] [A] [D]
[Dm] [Am] you, my [Dm] keys slipped, [Am] I got numb to [D] playing with [A] [Dm] me
Help my [Am] heart, give him [Dm] air, time to [A] shave, shave it off, [Dm] it off
[Dm] [Am] Don't find no way to [Gm] sleep when you're numb to me, [Am] I'm sleeping [Dm] free
[E] [Dm] Don't find [Am] no way to [Gm] sleep when you're [Dm] numb to [Am] me, I'm sleeping free
[Dm] Don't find [Am] no way to [Gm] sleep when you're numb to [Am] me, [Dm] I'm sleeping free
