This is the chord progression of Nightmare by Halsey on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar and Keyboard.
[Intro]
F E Am C F Em Am C
[Verse 1]
Am
I\’ve tasted blood and it is sweet
Cm F
I\’ve had the rug pulled beneath my feet
Em Am
I\’ve trusted lies and trusted men
C F
Broke down and put myself back together again
Em7
Stared in the mirror and punched it to shatters
Am7 Am
Collected the pieces and picked out a dagger
F Em
I\’ve pinched my skin in between my two fingers
And wished I could cut some parts off with some scissors
[Pre-Chorus]
F Em
\”Come on, little lady, give us a smile\”
Am C
No, I ain\’t got nothin\’ to smile about
F Em
I got no one to smile for, I waited a while for
Am F
A moment to say I don\’t owe you a goddamn thing
[Chorus]
Em Am
I keep a record of the wreckage in my life
C F
I gotta recognize the weapon in my mind
Em Am
They talk shit, but I love it every time
C
And I realize
[Post-Chorus]
G G Am C
I\’m no sweet dream, but I\’m a hell of a night
C F Em7 Am Em
That I\’m no sweet dream, but I\’m a hell of a night
[Verse 2]
F Em Am7
No, I won\’t smile, but I\’ll show you my teeth
Am F
And I\’ma let you speak if you just let me breathe
Em7 Am
I\’ve been polite, but won\’t be caught dead
G F
Lettin\’ a man tell me what I should do with my bed
Em
Keep my exes in check in my basement
Am C
\’Cause kindness is weakness, or worse, you\’re complacent
F Em
I could play nice or I could be a bully
I\’m tired and angry, but somebody should be
[Pre-Chorus]
F Em
\”Come on, little lady, give us a smile\”
Am C
No, I ain\’t got nothin\’ to smile about
F Em
I got no one to smile for, I waited a while for
Am F
A moment to say I don\’t owe you a goddamn thing
[Chorus]
Em Am
I keep a record of the wreckage in my life
C F
I gotta recognize the weapon in my mind
Em Am7
They talk shit, but I love it every time
C
And I realize
F Em Am
I, I keep a record of the wreckage in my life
C F
I gotta recognize the weapon in my mind
Em Am
They talk shit, but I love it every time
C
And I realize
