Em I can't eat, I can't sleep GC Knowing that you're on your midnight creep Em I can't jump. I can't jive GC Knowing that you want me dead or alive AmD There's no half way with you AmD You see red, white and blue AmB What holds your head on could use another screw
Chorus: EmGAB Come on, do your worst, boy, that's the way, that's the way EmGAB Hit me where it hurts, boy, that's the way, that's the way EmGAB Puff until you burst, boy, that's the way, that's the way Em But I'll never give it up, I'll never give it up
I'll put you in my loser file I don't need your reptile smile I prefer you out of range Stare at somebody else for a change When the sky fell in, you cried And blackness welled inside And how your little brain got twisted and fried
Chorus
CEm You're someone I can't help betray CEmDCD You know you built me up that way, that way, that way
I don't run, I don't care Some day we're going to meet somewhere You and me will rock and roll When you crawl out of your sick little hole So give me what you got Put your money in the pot Let's see what you are and what you're not
