Verse
A# C
Have you ever loved someone so much, you'd give an arm for?
Dm
Not the expression, no, literally give an arm for?
A# C
When they know they're your heart And you know you were their armour
Dm
And you will destroy anyone who would try to harm 'her
A# C
But what happens when karma, turns right around and bites you
Dm
And everything you stand for, turns on you, to spite you?
A#
What happens when you become the main source of a pain?
Dm C
"Daddy look what I made," dad's gotta go catch a plane

A# C
Daddy's writing this song, this song ain't gon' write itself
Dm
I'll give you one underdog, and you gotta swing by yourself
A# C
Then turn right around in that song and tell her you love her
Dm
And put hands on her mother, who's a spitting image of her

Sixty thousand people, all jumping out their seat
Dm
The curtain closes, they're throwing roses at my feet
A#
I take a bow and thank you all for coming out

Put it to my brain, scream, "Die Shady" and pop it

The plane that I was supposed to be on crashes and burns to ashes

That's when I wake up, alarm clock's ringin', there's birds singin'
Dm C
It's spring and Hailei's outside swinging
