Verse(this part is played in bass):
DmI hear my name
BbI hear the trash you're talking
FIn your sleep
CThe secrets that you're keeping
DmA chick, Bbthat's smart
FDid you really think that you could Ckeep her in the dark?
DmDoes she purr?
BbDoes she make it hard?
FHard to speak
CDoes she dress the part?
DmI'm sure she'll Bbtake some getting used to
FDarlin, she won't ever be Cme
Chorus:
DmI felt the bite
BbTake a spit
Suck the poison out of Fme
I'll make you beg
Make you come
To your Csenses
If you Dmkeep up the shit
Take thBbe hit
Dig the grave
FThis is how it goes down
CThis is how it goes down
Verse (same order)
Gonna run
Gonna scream
Gonna crawl round on your knees
When you realize that no one's gonna measure up to me
Doesn't matter cause I'm over it now
This is how it goes down
This is how it goes down
I'm gonna rage
Stay out really late
I'm gonna hang with all my friends you hate
I may try that threesome
Better late than never and
Better without you
This is your future as I see it
You will be homeless, poor, and broken
She will have left you when she finds out who you are
You're nothing but an extra, and baby I'm the star
Chorus (same):
I felt the bite
Take a spit
Suck the poison out of me
I'll make you beg
Make you come
To your senses
If you keep up the shit
Take the hit
Dig the grave
This is how it goes down
This is how it goes down
Gonna run
Gonna scream
Gonna crawl round on your knees
When you realize that no one's gonna measure up to me
Doesn't matter cause I'm over it now
This is how it goes down
This is how it goes down
I suppose this is how the story goes, but
Ever since that door closed, I've been going (down, down, down, down)
The drain and the pain got me nauseous (down, down, down)
I should have been more cautious or clever
Whatever, you'll never find a dude with a better headgame, and
You can take that both ways
You laughin’ like I'm playin’ wit your fingers up like oh ? (down, down, down, down)
Wish you would have a threesome without me I pull a O. G. (down, down, down)
And text you something incriminating pictures from my old days
I felt the bite
Take a spit
Suck the poison out of me
I'll make you beg
Make you come
To your senses
If you keep up the shit
Take the hit
Dig the grave
This is how it goes down
This is how it goes down
Gonna run
Gonna scream
Gonna crawl round on your knees
When you realize that no one's gonna measure up to me
Doesn't matter cause I'm over it now
This is how it goes down
This is how it goes down
Somebody doesn't like you
Cause you're not such a bigshot dude
Might wanna rethink it through
Coulda asked me, I woulda told you the truth
Somebody doesn't like you
Cause you're not such a bigshot dude
Might wanna rethink it through
Shoulda asked me, I woulda told you the truth
