      D             G                Bm
Am I more than you bargained for yet?
           G                D
I've been dying to tell you anything
     G                   Bm               G
You want to hear, cause that's just who I am this week
 D                G                Bm  G
Lie in the grass next to the mausoleum
            D
I'm just a notch in your bedpost,
     G                       Bm G
but you're just a line in a song

F#m     G       A      Bm
Drop a heart, break a name
               C
We're always sleepin' in
           Bm                G
and we're sleepin' for the wrong team

Chorus:
             D
We're going down down in an earlier round,
     G
And sugar we're going down swinging
              Bm
I'll be your number one with a bullet
   G
A loaded god complex, cock it and pull it
             D
We're going down down in an earlier round,
     G
And sugar we're going down swinging
              Bm
I'll be your number one with a bullet
   G
A loaded god complex, cock it and pull it

Is this more than you bargained for yet?
Oh, don't mind me, I'm watching
You two from the closet
Wishing to be the friction in your jeans
Isn't it messed up how I'm just dying to be him?
I'm just a notch in your bedpost,
but you're just a line in a song
(Notch in your bedpost,
but you're just a line in a song)

Chorus

Em D
Down, down in an earlier round,
and sugar we're going down swinging
G
I'll be your number one with a bullet,
a loaded god complex, cock it and pull it
D
We're going down, down in an earlier round,
and sugar we're going down swinging
G
I'll be your number one with a bullet,
a loaded god complex, cock it and pull it

             D
We're going down down  (down down)
             G
We're going down down  (down down)
             Bm
We're going down down  (down down)
   G
A loaded god complex, cock it and pull it

We're going down, down (down, down)
Down, down (down, down)
We're going down, down (down, down)
A loaded God complex, cock it and pull it
We're going down, down in an earlier round
(Take aim at myself)
And sugar, we're going down swinging
(Take back what you said)
I'll be your number one with a bullet
(Take aim at myself)
A loaded God complex, cock it and pull it
