[Am] [G] [E]
[Am] [E] [Am] [E]
[Am] [Bb] I've earned [Am] [E] myself a [A] [E] reputation That [C] my bark is much worse than my [G] bite
But [F] I keep snapping [Ab] at Goliath's [G] hands [Am] With all of my [G]
[C] tiny might
[Fm] There [Am] are no stones [E] at [Am] my disposal [E] [C] There's no god to hold me a crown
[F] But I am [Ab] always swinging at [Am] Somebody I [Em] can't knock down
[D] All of the fire [Am] I've swallowed [Em] All of the [E] sparks of [G] dark [F] in my gut
[Ab]
[G] Always [Am] burning [Em] up
[Bm] Dress [Am] me in red [E] and [Am] throw your [E] roses [C] And I'll wrinkle the piece with words
[F] It's a graceless [Ab] dance of epithets [Am] We learn to [D] make [C] someone hurt
[B] They [Am] will consume [E] your [A] sweet resistance [Em] And they'll carry your heart in their [C] teeth
[F] But I am [Ab] always feeding them [Am] Ugliest [E] parts of me
[Gm] All of the [Am] words I've swallowed All of the [Em] sharp things I've kept [F] in my mouth
[Am] [Ab] I am [G] always bleeding [Am] out
[Em]
[C] Take me to war, honey, I [Am] dare [Em] you I'll [C] be the sweetest thing [Am] to ever [Em] scare you
Give [F] me a bite, I [Am] can't resist Give [E] me something great, [F] it's my fist
[Ab] Take me to war,
[G] [Am] honey, I dare you
[Em]
[D] [Am] [Em]
I [Am] washed weed [E] and [Am] served the guard [E] [G] And it poisoned [C] the rest of the cross
[F] Would take days of [Ab] fighting, stubborn rules [Am] To tear the whole damn thing out
So I will [Bm] leave it where [Am] it's standing [E] [C] And instead I'll find me a match
I'll [F] turn it all [Ab] to kindling [Am] I'll burn it all [Em] down to ash
[D] All of the eyes [Am] I've swallowed All of the [C] holes that snooze in [F] my gut
[Am] [Ab] I am
[G] always hurt
[Am] [Em]
[Am] Take me to war, honey, I dare [Em] you [C] I'll be the sweetest thing to [Am] ever [Em] scare you
Give [F] me a bite, I [Am] can't resist Give [E] me something great, [F] it's my fist
Take [Ab] me to war, [G] honey, [Am] I dare you
[Em] Take [C]
[A] me to [Em] war
