[Intro]
E, A (x7)
E, A, B, A, B, E
[Verse 1]
E A E A
Everyone who sees it puts their face in the ground
E A B A
And when nobody's watching, they can tear it all down
E A E A
Friend or foe? Cause I can be either one
E A B A
But if they come at me, then they better all run
[Chorus]
E A E A
The wood's all soaking, so fire won't burn
E A B A
Now I'd keep talking, but you never learn
E A E A
The cut's too deep, and so the wound won't heal
E A B A E
You won't keep nothing, you don't keep nothing by keepin' it real
[Verse 2]
Long-toothed time is marching on as I sing
Just cut me down the middle and count my rings
Can't keep nothing; best to leave it alone
You die naked and they burn up your bones
[Chorus]
[Instrumental] (x2)
E, A, E, A
E, A, B, A
[Verse 3]
What's the point in wishing there was somewhere to go
If when you get there, you can't let anyone know
When my time comes, I won't be leaving this Earth
And what I've done for people will determine my worth
[Chorus] (x2)
