Verse(this part is played in bass):
Dm
I hear my name 
Bb
I hear the trash you're talking
F 
In your sleep
C
The secrets that you're keeping 
Dm       Bb
A chick, that's smart 
F                                   C
Did you really think that you could keep her in the dark? 

Dm
Does she purr? 
Bb
Does she make it hard?
F 
Hard to speak 
C
Does she dress the part? 
Dm              Bb
I'm sure she'll take some getting used to 
F                         C
Darlin, she won't ever be me 

Chorus:
Dm
I felt the bite
Bb 
Take a spit 
                       F
Suck the poison out of me
I'll make you beg
Make you come
        C
To your senses
       Dm 
If you keep up the shit
       Bb 
Take the hit 
Dig the grave
F 
This is how it goes down
C 
This is how it goes down 

Verse (same order)
Gonna run 
Gonna scream 
Gonna crawl round on your knees 
When you realize that no one's gonna measure up to me 
Doesn't matter cause I'm over it now 
This is how it goes down 
This is how it goes down 

I'm gonna rage 
Stay out really late 
I'm gonna hang with all my friends you hate 
I may try that threesome 
Better late than never and 
Better without you 

This is your future as I see it 
You will be homeless, poor, and broken 
She will have left you when she finds out who you are 
You're nothing but an extra, and baby I'm the star 

Chorus (same):
I felt the bite 
Take a spit 
Suck the poison out of me 
I'll make you beg 
Make you come 
To your senses 
If you keep up the shit 
Take the hit 
Dig the grave 
This is how it goes down 
This is how it goes down 

Gonna run 
Gonna scream 
Gonna crawl round on your knees 
When you realize that no one's gonna measure up to me 
Doesn't matter cause I'm over it now 
This is how it goes down 
This is how it goes down 

I suppose this is how the story goes, but 
Ever since that door closed, I've been going (down, down, down, down) 
The drain and the pain got me nauseous (down, down, down) 
I should have been more cautious or clever 
Whatever, you'll never find a dude with a better headgame, and 
You can take that both ways 
You laughin' like I'm playin' wit your fingers up like oh ? (down, down, down, down) 
Wish you would have a threesome without me I pull a O. G. (down, down, down) 
And text you something incriminating pictures from my old days 

I felt the bite 
Take a spit 
Suck the poison out of me 
I'll make you beg 
Make you come 
To your senses 
If you keep up the shit 
Take the hit 
Dig the grave 
This is how it goes down 
This is how it goes down 

Gonna run 
Gonna scream 
Gonna crawl round on your knees 
When you realize that no one's gonna measure up to me 
Doesn't matter cause I'm over it now 
This is how it goes down 
This is how it goes down 

Somebody doesn't like you 
Cause you're not such a bigshot dude 
Might wanna rethink it through 
Coulda asked me, I woulda told you the truth 

Somebody doesn't like you 
Cause you're not such a bigshot dude 
Might wanna rethink it through 
Shoulda asked me, I woulda told you the truth
