Dresden Dolls - Thirty whacks

^Em Thirty licks with a b^Gelt; same old tricks on mys^Gelf. And I wonder: Does ^Ameveryone else live this way? ^Em A succession of t^Gests, a triumphant succ^Gess, Each time I'm still int^Amact, at the end of the day.

^Em Thirty drops in a gl^Gass, keep my temper and p^Gass With my breath held. You b^Amastards, you've lucked out again! ^Em It's not really so b^Gad. There's still mom, there's still D^Gamage to do before t^Amhey wrest the axe from my hands.

^Em It's no mystery: y^Gou should obviously g^Go, Bef^Amore I break everything. ^Em You're always telling me^G that you're dying to kn^Gow; But you're ^Amnot really listening.

H^Gow do I manage to st^Emation myself in harm's^B way, And only get hit with a t^Gicket for loitering T^Emhat I have no way to p^Bay? And no strength to argue. My p^Gersonal demons can sc^Emheme with professional^B care...

^GIf I could shut them out j^Emust for a second, I^B swear:

^Em Thirty day guarant^Gee, But they can't have meant ^Gme. After all, I was b^Amorn to a child-proof world. ^Em No sharp corners, or gl^Gass, Small objects, or pl^Gastic bags. Please, these are d^Ameath to a delicate girl.

^Em It's no mystery - y^Gou should obviously kn^Gow That I^Am'll destroy everything. ^Em So don't go telling me^G that you're dying to kn^Gow 'Cause you’l^Aml get what you're asking for.

A^Gnd I still manage to st^Emation myself in harm's^B way, And only get hit with a t^Gicket for loitering, St^Emating I came the wrong^B day. N^Gow all the demons are scr^Emeaming, their wages aren't^B fair.

^GIf I could shut them up j^Emust for a second, I sw^Bear: It'll look like an accident.

^{Em G G Am} I could be decent yet! ^{Em G G Am} Be magnificent!

^{Em G G Am} I could be president...
