[Intro]

Em G


[Verse 1]

           Em                    C
 This is a black, black ski mask song
    Em                    G
 So put all of your anger on
                   Em             C
 Only in the truly gruesome do we trust
               Em                 G
 I will always land on you like a sucker punch
          Em                 C                        Em G
 Singing "I am your worst, I am your worst nightmare"
 Em                 C                       Em G 
 I am your worst, I am your worst nightmare


[Pre-Chorus]

        C                   G                 D
 If you knew, knew what the bluebirds sang at you,
           Em
 You would never sing along
 C                   G
 Cast them out cause this is our culture
 D                    Em
 These new flocks are nothing but vultures


[Chorus]

              Em
 Because they took our love and they filled it up
 C                               G             Em
 Filled it up with Novocaine and now I’m just numb
              C G
 Now I’m just numb
 Em
 Don't mind me, I’m just a son of a gun
          C                           G           Em
 So don’t stop, don’t stop until your heart goes numb
              C
 Now I’m just numb
G
 I don’t feel a thing for you

Em G Em G
 

[Verse 2]

            Em                              C
 I’m just a problem that doesn’t want to be solved
              Em                 G
 So could you please hold your applause
           Em                   C
 Take this sideshow and all its freaks
             Em              G
 And turn it into the silver screen dream
          Em                 C                        Em G
 Singing "I am your worst, I am your worst nightmare"
 Em                 C                       Em G 
 I am your worst, I am your worst nightmare


[Pre-Chorus]

        C                   G                 D
 If you knew, knew what the bluebirds sang at you,
                 Em
 You would never sing along
 C                   G
 Cast them out cause this is our culture
 D                    Em
 These new flocks are nothing but vultures


[Chorus]

              Em
 Because they took our love and they filled it up
 C                               G             Em
 Filled it up with Novocaine and now I’m just numb
              C G
 Now I’m just numb
 Em
 Don't mind me, I’m just a son of a gun
          C                           G           Em
 So don’t stop, don’t stop until your heart goes numb
              C
 Now I’m just numb
G
 I don’t feel a thing for you

Em G Em G


[Bridge]

     Em      G              Em         G     Em G Em G
 One day the valley’s gonna swallow me whole
   Em          G                 Em    G
 I feel like a photo that’s been over-exposed


[Chorus]

              Em
 Because they took our love and they filled it up
 C                               G             Em
 Filled it up with Novocaine and now I’m just numb
              C G
 Now I’m just numb
 Em
 Don't mind me, I’m just a son of a gun
          C                           G           Em
 So don’t stop, don’t stop until your heart goes numb
              C
 Now I’m just numb
G
 I don’t feel a thing for you
