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)
