G#m
Living well is not my kind of revenge
                        D#m
You should take it from me
B
Living well is just a privilege
G#m
Thought I'd simmer down as I got older
Can't shake the devil sitting on my shoulder
D#m          B
Who invited you?

A#m                  G#m
Just like a stray animal
I keep feeding scraps
             F#maj7
I give it my energy
                        C#
And it keeps on coming back
                     G#m
Just like a stray animal
I keep feeding scraps
             F#maj7
I give it my energy
And it keeps on coming

Chorus:
D#m                F#
Everyone is a bad guy
                                B
And there's no way, no way to know
               F#
Who's the worst
D#m                            F#
Karma's gonna come for all of us
                                B
And I hope, but I hope, I just hope
She comes
      F#             G#m
Comes for you first, oh

Which wolf wins?
I guess it really depends, just gotta wait and see
Which one's appetite's the biggest?
Turns out I'm livin' in a horror film
Where I'm both the killer and the final girl
So, who, who are you?

Just like a stray animal
I keep feeding scraps
I give it my energy
And it keeps on coming back
But just like a stray animal
I keep feeding scraps
I give it my energy
And it keeps on comin'

Chorus:
Everyone is a bad guy
And there's no way, no way to know
Who's the worst
If karma's gonna come for all of us
Well, I hope, well, I hope, I just hope
That she comes, comes for you first, oh

B             G#m
Never said I wasn't petty
B             D#m
Never said I wasn't petty
B
I never said I wasn't petty
                       C#
You can bet I don't regret it for a second

It's a pleasure, it's a reckoning
B
Never said I wasn't petty
                           G#m
I'll do better when you're better
Let me revel in your defeat

Chorus:
Everyone is a bad guy
And there's no way, no way to know
Who's the worst
But karma's gonna come for all of us
And I hope, well, I hope, I just hope
That she comes, comes for you first, oh
