           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

         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
These new flocks are nothing but vultures

Chorus:
              Em
Because they took our love and they filled it up
 C                               G            D  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          D 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

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

If you knew, knew what the blue birds sang at you
You would never sing along
Cast them out 'cause this is our culture
These new flocks are nothing but vultures

Chorus

     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
