Verse
A#
Switchblade 'round my neck, don't get close to me
F#add11
Ask about your life, still in the nose-bleeds?
A#
Laying in your bed, call it intimacy
F#add11
Wish I could get past the security
A#
Wonder why I wake up living in a made-up
F#add11
Dream of you and I, together there
A#
Baby, wake the fuck up, time for you to grow up
F#add11
Don't you know that life is rarely ever fair?
[Chorus]
A#
I wouldn't ask you to take care of me
F#add11
Oh, and I wouldn't ask you to take care of me
A#
I wouldn't ask you to take care of me
F#add11
Oh, and I wouldn't ask you to take care of me
[Verse 2]
A#
Tell you how I feel, I keep it real clean
F#add11
Lock hanging 'round my neck, you don't get a key
A#5
Come a little closer, I'll show you what I mean
F#add11
Oh, boy, no, it's all for me
A#
Ice cold, baby, I'm ice cold
F#add11
You're the only one who could make me fold
A#
Ice cold, baby, I'm ice cold
F#add11
You're the only one who could make me fold
[Chorus]
