[Am]up and then let me go
A sabot[G]age low in every flow
Stacking [D]'em up like a domino
Knock 'em all [F]down with a

Burn a bridge just to watch it fall

[Am]you)[G][D]
[F]Shoot [G]me [Am]down with a ricochet
Poison [G]tongue and a price to pay
Sweeping [D]down like a bird of prey
To tear me [F]apart right

[Am]Turn a question into a brawl
[G]Mix some vengeance with alcohol
[D]Break my will just to see me crawl
[F]Push my back up [D]against the [Am]wall
