My bodyguard shows her revolver to anyone who asks

And yeah she comes to attention when you come up to me too fast
B A
For a little while you'll be here, the only good part of me
B A
For a little while you'll be here
E B A
So lit up, lit up, lit up alright
A
I try to untie Manhattan
E B A
Lit up, lit up, lit up alright

B
You wear skirt like a flag
A
And everything surrounds you, and it doesn't fade
B
Nothing like this sound I make
A
That only lasts the season
B A
And only heard by bedroom kids who buy for that reason
B A
Cuz you're the low life of the party, bad blood
B
Bad blood for everybody
A
I'm in control and I believe
E B A
So lit up, lit up, lit up alright
A
I try to untie Manhattan
E B A
Lit up, lit up, lit up alright
E B A
I try to untie from your bad blood
E B A
From your bad blood
E B A
Cuz you're the low life of the party, bad blood
E B
Bad blood for everybody
A
I'm in control and I believe
E B A
So lit up, lit up, lit up, lit up alright
A
I try to untie Manhattan
E B A
Lit up, lit up, lit up, lit up alright
