[Intro]
| Dm  | Dm  | A#  | A7   A/C#  |


[Verse 1]
Dm
 You showed me your colors
                A#
Showed me your face
               A7        A/C#
Painted with pretty lies
Dm
 You broke every promise
               A#
Feeling no shame
            A7
Leaving me dead inside
       Dm
And I won't
      Dm
No I won't take the blame
      A#
So I run
           A7          A/C#
From your cold wicked way
           Dm
You ain't diggin, diggin, diggin
     Dm
My grave, no


[Chorus]
                  Dm
Not gonna be the victim
                Dm
Don't wanna be a slave
                A#
Not gonna be addicted to a system
             Gm
I did not create
                    Dm
Stop making me the monster
                    Dm
Stop messing with my brain
                  A#
Not gonna be the victim any longer
       Gm      C    A/C#
So get off my wave


[Verse 2]
Dm
 I rest you in piecеs
           A#
Ashes and dust
            A7    A/C#
Spiritual suicide
Dm
 Shedding my skin
                 A#
Shakе off the rust
             A7          A/C#
Bringing me back to life
      A#
So I run
           A7          A/C#
From your cold wicked way
           Dm
You ain't diggin, diggin, diggin
     Dm
My grave, no


[Chorus]
                  Dm
Not gonna be the victim
                Dm
Don't wanna be a slave
                A#
Not gonna be addicted to a system
             Gm
I did not create
                    Dm
Stop making me the monster
                    Dm
Stop messing with my brain
                  A#
Not gonna be the victim any longer
       Gm      C    A/C#
So get off my wave
