Nightmare chords by Halsey

Intro:

F   Em
    Now I lay me down to sleep

Am       C
  I pray the Lord, my soul to keep

F            Em
 If I shall die before I wake

      Am      C
I pray the Lord, my soul to take


Chorus:

F      Em              Am
I, I keep a record of the wreckage of my life

    C             F
I gotta recognize the weapon in my mind

     Em            Am
They talk shit, but I love it every time

   C
And I realize


Verse 1:

N.C.              Am
I've tasted blood and it is sweet

        C           F
I've had the rug pulled beneath my feet

       Em         Am
I've trusted lies and trusted men

           C      N.C.    F
Broke down and put myself back together again

             Em
Stared in the mirror and punched it to shatters

  Am          C
Collected the pieces and picked out a dagger

F            Em
I've pinched my skin in between my two fingers

  N.C.
And wished I could cut some parts off with some scissors


Pre-Chorus:

F          Em
Come on little lady, give us a smile

   Am          C
No, I ain't got nothin' to smile about

   F           Em
I got no one to smile for, I waited a while for

 Am          N.C.
A moment to say I don't owe you a Goddamn thing


Chorus:

F      Em              Am
I, I keep a record of the wreckage of my life

    C             F
I gotta recognize the weapon in my mind

     Em            Am
They talk shit, but I love it every time

   C
And I realize


Post-Chorus:

  F            Em        Am    C
I'm no sweet dream but I'm a hell of a knife

     F             Em       Am    C
That I'm no sweet dream, but I'm a hell of a knife


Verse 2:

F       Em               Am
 No, I won't smile, but I'll show you my teeth

          C             F
And I'ma let you speak if you just let me breathe

      Em              Am
I've been polite, but won't be caught dead

           C       N.C.    F
Lettin' a man tell me what I should do in my bed

        Em
Keep my exes in check in my basement

    Am            C
'Cause kindness is weakness, or worse, you're complacent

F           Em
I could play nice or I could be a bully

  N.C.
I'm tired and angry, but somebody should be


Pre-Chorus:

F          Em
Come on little lady, give us a smile

   Am          C
No, I ain't got nothin' to smile about

   F           Em
I got no one to smile for, I waited a while for

 Am          N.C.
A moment to say I don't owe you a Goddamn thing


Chorus:

F      Em              Am
I, I keep a record of the wreckage of my life

    C             F
I gotta recognize the weapon in my mind

     Em            Am
They talk shit, but I love it every time

   C
And I realize

F      Em              Am
I, I keep a record of the wreckage of my life

    C             F
I gotta recognize the weapon in my mind

     Em            Am
They talk shit, but I love it every time

   C
And I realize


Bridge:

F      Em     Am         C
Someone like me can be a real nightmare, completely aware

  F     Em  Am          C
But I'd rather be a real nightmare, than die unaware, yeah

F      Em     Am         C
Someone like me can be a real nightmare, completely aware

  F      Em  Am         N.C.
But I'm glad to be a real nightmare, so save me your prayers

I, I keep a record of the wreckage of my life

    C             F
I gotta recognize the weapon in my mind

     Em            Am
They talk shit, but I love it every time

   C
And I realize


Post-Chorus:

  F            Em        Am    C
I'm no sweet dream but I'm a hell of a knife

     F             Em       Am    C
That I'm no sweet dream, but I'm a hell of a knife
