It's [E] all shit, but I'm lovin' [Am] every day.
[C] You know me like_
[Am] I've tasted blood, and it is sweet.
I've had the rock go beneath [Fm] my feet.

Letting a man [C] tell me what I should do in my bed.
Keep my [E] exes in check in my basement

[Am] Every time,
[C] and I realize
[E] Someone [Em] like me can be
