[Verse 1]
                      F
You called the other day,
  E  C
 I stayed away
                     F
I left your shit on read,
   E    C
four times today
                   F
And it felt like bliss,
          E         C
used to miss your kiss
Now I'm hop-skip jumpin'
       F
over narcissists
         E
Throwing all your stuff
       C
 into the abyss

Now the role is reversed,
            F
I told you I'ma switch
         E
How you like my spit?
           C
That's for all the pits
 that you left me in
          F
See, the words in my head
                E
they're from goddesses,
     C
goddesses, on god
[Pre-Chorus]
F                 E
No, I never knew what it meant,
   C
 what it meant to be
                F
content with you
           E
Everything I expressed,
 C
 I professed, it never
                  F
 quite made it through
           E
Said it's all in my head,
  C
 all in my head whenever
              F
I spoke my truth
       E                  C
No, I won't defend you to all
my friends, this time, I refuse

[Chorus]
        F       E      C
If you bite my hand again
              F
I will never feed you,
   E              C
you can call me evil
                F
Take it to the grave
         E             C
if you wanna play pretend
                F
I won't be mistreated,
   E                C
please call me conceited
                 F
Took me way too long to
      E        C
 put this to bed
                F
Lovin' you was lethal,
  E                  C
 guess that makes me evil, evil

F     E    C
Evil, evil

[Verse 2]
                   F
Remember when you smiled
  E    C
 right to my face?
                  F
As all my little tears
 E  C
 of oxalate
              F
They made a shape,
     E         C
revealed a snake

Now I'm stop-drop rollin'
       F
 over all your jokes
       E
Every time you tell a lie
               C
 I'm prayin' that you choke
Should've listened to
                  F
 the signs and the horoscopes
          E
Hope you never cope,
           C
 hope you slip on soap
Crack your head like an egg,
         F
 wanna see the yolk
          E        C
You were such a hoax

[Pre-Chorus]
F                 E
