You with your words like knives and swords
(G)
And weapons that you use against me

You have knocked me off my feet again

You with your voice like nails on a chalk board
(G)
Callin' me out when I'm wounded
Bm A G
You pickin' on the weaker man
A D G A
Well you can take me down with just one single blow

But you don't know what you don't know

You with your swithching sides and
G
Your wild fire lies and your humiliation

Tryin' to block you out
G
Cause I never impress you

I just wanna feel okay again

And I can see you years from now in a bar
D G A
Talkin' over a football game
