i remember the kid in 7th grade that spat in my face over a girl
G         B           C                               G         B   C
6 of his friends came over, egging him on, kicking my ass over a girl
Em                           A
now i just ran away and it's with me still today
C                               D
but i'm reminded of that kid by you

C                   D               Em               G
i try to change the scenery and you act like you're over me
C                  B        Em        D
and i've become a swatted fly again
C                 D                 Em              G
i bring you down off the shelf and you tell me to fuck myself
C                  B        Em
and i've become a swatted fly again


G            B       C                      F C   G                      B
  i've made choices not quite from the heart. i'd hide in my shell over a 
  C
girl

G         B                 C                          G             B    C
  when i break through you shut me down. i'm outta my hell into your world

Em                            A
now i know i should take the bad with the good
     C                         A D 
but everything tells me to walk away

C                D              Em               G     
you put a smile on my face and then you put me in your place
         C        B             Em    D G
and i've become a swatted fly again
C                    D       Em               G
when anything i say or do is never good enough for you
C             B            Em
i've become a swatted fly again
C                   B           Em (hold)
i'll never be your swatted fly again
