[Verse 1]
Dm            F
 The who's who of
 who's that
 Am           G
 Is poised for the atack
Dm
 But my bare hands
 F
paved their paths
 C               G
 You don't get to tell
        F      Dm  F
me about sad
        Am
 If you wanted me dead,
      G
 you should have
             Dm F
just said
         G
 Nothing makes me
feel more alive

[Chorus]
      C
 So I leave from
the gallows
       G
 And I levitate down
     Dm
your street

 Crash the party like
   F
a record scratch
      C               G
 As I scream, "Who's afraid
            Dm     F
 of little old me?"
     Am         C F
 You should be
C  G  Dm

[Verse 2]
Dm              F
 The scandal was contained
Am         G
 The bullet had
just grazed
Dm
 At all costs, keep
 F
 your good name
 C               G
 You don't get to tell
          F      Dm  F
 me you feel bad
         Am
 Is it a wonder I broke?
            G
 Let's hear one more
       Dm  F
joke
             G
 Then we can all just
 laugh until I cry

[Chorus]
      C
 So I leave from
 the gallows
       G
 And I levitate down
     Dm
 your street
 Crash the party like
    F
 a record scratch
      C               G
 As I scream, "Who's afraid
            Dm     F
 of little old me?"
       C
 I was tame, I was gentle
          G
 Till the circus life
         Dm
made me mean

 "Don't you worry, folks,
     F                C
 we took out all her teeth"
        G
 Who's afraid of
         Dm      F
little old me?
           C
 Well, you should be
 (You should be)
     G
 You should be
(You should be)
     Dm         F
 You should be
     C
 You should be
 (You should be)
     G
 You should be
(You should be)
     Dm         F
 You should be

[Bridge]
Am          G
 So tell me everything
          F
 is not about me
                C   G/B  Am
 But what if it is?
Am             G
 Then say they didn't do
        F
 it to hurt me
                  C    G/B
 But what if they did?
           Dm
 I want to snarl and show
              F
 you just how disturbed
 this has made me
     Am
 You wouldn't last an hour
         G
 in the asylum where
 they raised me
    Dm
 So all you kids can sneak
          F
 into my house with
all the cobwebs
     Am
 I'm always drunk
           G
on my own tears
   Dm
 Isn't that what
      F
they all said?
           C
 That I'll sue you if
     G          Dm
 you step on my lawn
          C
 That I'm fearsome and
     G                Dm
 I'm wretched and I'm wrong
     C              G
 Put narcotics into all
     Dm
 of my songs
            C
 And that's why you're
       G     Dm
still singing along

[Chorus]
      C
 So I leave from the gallows
       G
 And I levitate down
      Dm
your street

 Crash the party like a
 F
record scratch
      C               G
 As I scream, "Who's afraid
             Dm     F
 of little old me?"
       C
 I was tame, I was gentle
          G
 Till the circus life
         Dm
 made me mean
 "Don't you worry, folks,
     F                C
we took out all her teeth"
        G
 Who's afraid of little
  Dm      F
old me?
           C
 Well, you should be
(You should be)
     G
 You should be
(You should be)
     Dm         F
 You should be

[Outro]
            C
 'Cause you lured me
         G
 And you hurt me
         Dm        F
 And you taunt me
     C
 You caged me
              G
 And then you called
    Dm     F
 me crazy
   C         G
 I am what I am
           Dm          F
'cause you trained me
    C      G        Dm   F
 So who's afraid of me?
 C      G
 Who's afraid of little
  Dm      F
 old me?
C       G
 Who's afraid of
         Dm      F
 little old me?
