Intro: D
verse 1
D
I want a beat down
G
But just for the education
D
I want a three-way
G
But just for the conversation
There's a lot more things to say that way
D
I want a clean fight
G
With my own reflection in the mirror
D
I want to get lost but never found
G
A permanent defection
From myself now
[Refrão]D
I don't need no love
Bm
It ain't strong enough
Em A
All I need now is a beat down

Something i can feel

Even if it never heals

I wanna break
A
Something's gotta break
verse 2
D
Don't wanna live itinerant
I wanna be carcinogen
G
I wanna get smoked like a cigarette
D
So line me up and knock me down
I've lived too long in this small town
G
I want to break, something's gotta break
D
I don't need more character
No Telemundo dramas here
G
I wanna breathe in reality
D
I drive all night to disconnect
'cause if I don't you're in my head
G
The highway signs they clear my mind
Pre-Chorus
D
You can roll on
You can roll on
G
You can roll on me
(A)
You can roll on me now
