Halsey - Nightmare (Lyrics) Chords

_ [Em] Now I lay me down to [Am] sleep.
I pray the [C] Lord my soul to keep
[F] If I shall die [Em] before I wake [Am] I pray the Lord _ _
[F] _ _ [Em] _ _ [Am] _ _ [C] _ _
[F] _ _ [Em] _ _ [Am] _ _ _ _
I've tasted blood and it is sweet.
I've had the rubble beneath [Fm] my feet
I've [F] trusted lies and trusted [Am] men.
Broke down and put myself [F] back together again
Sat in a mirror [Em] and punched it to shatters.
[Am] Collected the pieces and picked out a dagger
[F] I've pinched my skin [E] in between my two fingers and wished [N] I could cut some parts off [F] with some scissors
Come on little lady, [Em] give us a smile.
[Am] No, I ain't got nothing [C] to smile about
I [F] got no one to smile [Em] for.
I waited a while [A] for a moment to say [D] I don't owe you a thing
[F] _ _ [Em] _ _ [Am] _ [C] I've been living in the [F] dark for a long time.
[Em] I've been searching for the light of [Am] day
_ [C] _
[Dm] I'm no sweet dream but [E] I'm a hell of a knife
[Em] _ _ _
[Dm] I'm no sweet dream but [E] I'm a hell of a knife
_ [Em] _ _
[F] No, I [Am] won't smile but I'll show you my teeth
I'ma let you [C] speak if you just let me [F] breathe
I've been [Em] polite but won't be [Am] called that.
Letting a man tell me what I should do in [F] my bed
Keep my [Am] exes in check in my basement.
Cause kindness is weakness [C] or worse, you're [F] complacent
I could play nice [E] or I could be ugly.
I'm tired [D] and angry but somebody should [F] be
Come on little lady, [Em] give us a smile.
[Am] No, I ain't got nothing [C] to smile about
I [F] got no one to smile [Em] for.
I waited a while for [A] a moment to say I [Eb] don't owe you a [F] _ _ [Em] _ _ [Am] _ [C] thing
I've been living in [F] the dark for a long time.
I've been [Em] searching for the light [Am] of day
[C] I'm no sweet dream but [F] I'm a hell of a knife
I've been [Em] living in the dark for [Am] a long time.
I've been [C] searching _
[F] _ [Em] for the light of [Am] day
[C] I'm a hell of a knife
[E] Only one [Em] like me can be [C] a real nightmare, completely aware
[F] But I'd rather [Em] be a real nightmare [G] than dying aware
[F] Yes, only one [Em] like me can be [Am] a real nightmare, [C] completely aware
[F] But I'm glad to [Em] be a real nightmare, [F] so save me a prayer
I've [Em] been living in [Am] the dark [C] for [F] a long _ [Em] _ [Am] time.
_ [C] _ _
[F] I've been [Em] _ _ [Am] _ [C] searching _
[F] _ [Em] for the light of [Am] day
I'm [Dm] no sweet dream but [E] I'm a hell of a knife
[Em] _ _ _
[Dm] I'm no sweet dream but [E] I'm a hell of a knife
[Am] _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
