Dm
By the way that you talk to me
       F                   G      C      Dm
I can see the lie you're dreaming I'll believe
Dm                                    F
By the way, don't you forget who you are now
               G   C    Dm
'Cause that's not your name

Chorus:
               G#   G F
Oh you better take cover
Dm
('Cause I'm on my way now)
B           C       C#        Dm
I'm coming back to take your world down
G# G F  Dm
Move over, if you can
       F        Em       C
'Cause I never lost my crown

Slave to your insecurity
That's what drove you down in the first place
But you haven't learned a thing
Caught in your thick web of lies
Gonna be the bitch you make me out to be

Chorus:
Oh you better take cover
(Nothing you can say now)
You underestimated my wrath
Move over, if you can
I'm gonna give the love back

Dm
So you want to play with me?
Dm C# C           Dm C# C
      After it all    - your ego, your greed
Dm C# C                 Dm C# C
      You dug your grave      so come on in-
Dm C# C D# E F Dm C# C D# E F Dm C# C D# E F
side
Dm
and rest in peace

Chorus:
Take cover
(Cause I'm on my way now)
I'm gonna have to take you all down
Move over, if you can
'Cause I never lost my crown
