Intro:
Em G D C (x2)
Em G
Oh put it on, take it off real quick
D C
on the bottom of the pile, I’m feelin sick.
Em G
It never cross my mind, That my baby lied, no-
D C
To keep me in the beggar’s guild.
Em G
So I sleep all day and I dream all night
D C
with the bottle in my hand I take the devil’s side.
Em G
I smile real big just to keep it hid
D C
oh, the truth about my lack of will.
Em G
Oh I run like hell from the city’s glow
D C
I lose my name, I pass and forget the folks I used to know.
Em G
If I go far away from the city gates
D C
and the long reach of the government.
Em G
Oh all alone in a cold north scene,
D C
in the blue sky above a plane flew over me.
Em G
The banner it pulled said “you were a fool,”
D C
“did you really think you’d ever win?”
D C
I’m taking off my dirty skin.
D C
There is nothing to refute my sin.
Am G C
I fear no one
Am G C D
I fear no one but you.
Am G C
(Don’t care… no no )
Am G C D
I lie only to tell the truth.
(No)
Em (x2)
Em G
Well the steep demands of the higher call
D C
Oh you pawn off the world so the cars won’t stall.
Em G
I'll burn my clothes and I'll gut my soul
D C
and pretend that I was never born (ayyyyah yeah).
Em G
Oh my oh my, look what you have done
D C
Split your head out on the floor like you’re the chosen one.
Em G
I gave her my heart but she wanted no part
D C
so I sold it to an antique store.
Em G
So I dug a hole four thousand miles down
D C
To the center of the Earth where I will not be found.
Em G
Memories of the moon singing see you soon,
D C
Though I was always partial to the sun.
Em G
I was picked up by two men of the law
D C
They said we’re taking you downtown, forget about your call.
Em G
Hell’s no place for a wandering face
D C
Go take it up with Beelzebub.
D C
You laugh as you pull out the rug
D C
I was never really much in love.
Am G C
I fear no one
Am G C D
I fear no one but you.
Am G C
(Don’t care… no no )
Am G C D
I lie only to tell the truth.
(No...)
