Chords

[Intro] Am G C G C G C G [Verse]
   G
… Standing waiting for a man to show

                                  C
Wide-eyed, one eye fixed on the door

               Am
This waiting's killing me

G
It's getting me down

C          Am  G
Day in day out

                C                  D    C D C
My feet are wearing holes in the ground

  G
… Darkness, woman and a bedroom floor

                               C
Want someone to hold me close forever more

                Am
I'm a sleeping dog

G
But you can't tell

C                Am
When I'm on the prowl

G
You'd better run like hell
[Refrain]
  D         C               G
… You know it makes sense, don't you think about it

                    Am                          D
Life and death are things we only do when we're bored

     G                          D
Say fear is a man's best friend

     G                          D
Say fear is a man's best friend

      G                         D
Say fear is a man's best friend

     C           Am
You add it up it brings you down

C                                D G (Bridge) C
If you add it up it brings you down
… Home is living like a man on the run
G
Days leading nowhere

               C
"Where to, my son?"

              Am   G
We're already dead
But not yet in the ground
C                         Am
Come on, hold my shaking hand

G
And I'll show you around
(Refrain and Hookline to fade)
