[Intro]
Bm G D A
[Verse 1]
Bm G D A
Look in the mirror super close, magnify, self-diagnose
Bm G D A
Seeing things I never saw before
Bm G D A
In preparation to get clear, 'bout to take on a new frontier
Bm G D A
Leave it here, I don't need no souvenir
[Pre-Chorus]
G A F#m Bm
Decorate my skin
G A F#m G
Some scars you just can't cover up
G A F#m Bm
Here I am a...gain
G A F#m G
This time I just have had enough
[Chorus]
N.C.
I'm running late, put on my war paint
N.C.
'Cause I'm getting ready for the combat
Bm G
Get out my way, got on my war paint
D A
'Cause I'm getting ready for the combat
Bm G
With each stroke I take, I put on my face
D A
I'll make a mistake then a Q-tip, erase
Bm A
It's not that I'm fake, it's just my war paint, yeah
D
I'm getting ready for the combat
[Post-Chorus]
Bm
I'm going tribal
G D A
On ya, on ya, on ya, on ya, on ya
Bm
I'm going tribal
G D A
On ya, on ya, on ya, on ya, on ya
[Verse 2]
Bm G
I've had my share of tragedies
D A
Watching my mascara bleed
Bm G D A
But I got some tricks way up my sleeve
Bm G
Tip-toeing in through the minefields
D A
I'm so scared of how this feels
Bm G D A
I'm so scared of how I feel
[Pre-Chorus]
G A F#m Bm
Decorate my skin
G A F#m G
Some scars you just can't cover up
G A F#m Bm
Here I am a...gain
G A F#m G
This time I just have had enough
