I'm coming out and I'll tell you the truth
      D         E        Bm
I was trying to raise my roof
        A
Did you see it
       G      A  Bm
That I needed to prove
        D       E      Bm
That my stinger always stays
               D         E        Bm
You said she's beautiful when she plays

Verse 2
        Bm
It's my turn
         D         E         Bm
With the spotlight burning a hole
       D            E       Bm
But my bird-heart's turning cold
       A           G     A   Bm
As the temperature rises all around
       D          E       Bm
To the sound of a ticking bomb
              D        E           Bm
And then it's not just showing off here
         D       E               A
You know there's something going on here
      A
Going on here
