F#     B
You know
                    D#m
I've always been collected, calm and chill
    F#      B
And you know
                  D#m
I never look for conflict for the thrill
            C#
But if I’m feeling
                  D#m
Someone stepping towards you, can't describe
               C#
Just what I'm feeling

Chorus:
    B        F#
For you, I’d go
          G#m       D#m         C#
Step to a dude much bigger than me
     B      F#
For you, I know
             G#m            D#m C#
I would get messed up, weigh 153
     A
For you
             B             F#
I would get beat to smithereens

You know
I'll be in the corner taking notes
And you know
I got your six while you're working votes
But if I'm feeling
Someone stepping towards you, can't describe
Just what I'm feeling

Chorus

G#m        C#
   I would get beat to...
   B
   You know I had to do one
   F#
   You know I had to do one
   G#m        D#m
   You know I had to do one
   C#
   On the record for you
   B                        F#
   You know I had to do one on the record
   for her like this
       G#m    D#m                  C#
   You know I had to do one on the record
   for her like this
   B                        F#
   You know I had to do one on the record
   for her like this
       G#m    D#m                  C#
   You know I had to do one on the record for her

    C#
I'm feeling
                 D#m
Someone stepping towards you, can’t describe
              C#
Just what I’m feeling
    B        F#
For you, I'd go
              G#m          D#m          C#
Write a slick song just to show you the world
    B      F#
For you, I know
                       G#m        D#m          C#
They think it’s messed up to sell out for your girl

Chorus
