Tuning: Standard, E A D G B E
Most of the song is made up of playing the E chord and making sure to really hit the top strings but at times
also play the entire chord to make it seem as if not one chord. listen to the actual song to hear how it
sounds.
[Intro]
[Verse 1]
And I'm not af
raid of the ma
n next door
He's calm and quiet with a heart of stone
He fires a fir
e away that'll
kill us all
And I'm not mo
ving to a half
way house
To work my hands for the temple
How I'd die fo
r pretty thing
s on bigger wa
lls
[Refrain 1]
And try to hav
e it all
And try to hav
e it all
[Verse 2]
And I won't li
sten to the me
n on stage
They want my share of the minimum wage
And fear the f
inal things th
at we could kn
ow
And I'm not seeing what the vicar sees
To fall in love with the whole trapeze and
Stow the self
away like a po
ison drum
[Refrain 2]
It's a sign th
at we'll be go
ne
It's a si-----
--------------
gn that we'll
be gone
[Chorus]
And when you w
alk
There's a fire
, there's a fi
re in your bon
es
And when they
talk
There's a liar
, there's a li
ar in their cl
othesE
[Verse 3]
And I'm not af
raid of the gh
etto lords
And they carved our names on the city walls
But they lack
the fire of fa
ith that'll sa
ve us all
And I'm not doing what I can't avoid
To sell my soul for the trade and toil of
Fate and final
things before
the soil
[Refrain 3]
To try to have
it all
And to di-----
-------------e
to have it al
l
[Chorus]
And when you w
alk
There's a fire
, there's a fi
re in your bon
es
And when they
talk
There's a liar
, there's a li
ar in their cl
othes
And when you w
alk
There's a fire
, there's a fi
re in your bon
es
And when they
talk
There's a liar
, there's a li
ar, there's a
liar, there's
a liar ,there'
s a liar, ther
e's a liar,
There's a liar
, there's a l
iar in their c
lothes
[Bridge 1]
There's no rea
son why we can
't be loyal
There's no rea
son why we can
't be loyal
There's no rea
son why we can
't be loyal
There's no rea
son why we can
't be loyal
[Bridge 2]
But I'm not af
raid
I'm not afraid
But I'm not af

But I'm not af
raid
I'm not afraid
But I'm not af
raid
But I'm not af

But I'm not af

But I'm not af

But I'm not af

But I'm not af

But I'm not af

But I'm not af

But I'm not af

But I'm not af
raid
No, I'm not
I'm terrified
[Chorus]
And when you w
alk
There's a fire
, there's a fi
re in your bon
es
And when you t
alk
There's a liar
, there's a li
ar in their cl
othes
Yeah when you
walk
There's a fire
, there's a fi
re in your bon
es
And when they
talk
There's a liar
, there's a li
ar in their cl
othes
[Outro]
I'm not afraid
of the man ne
xt door
He's calm and quiet with a heart of stone
He fires a fir
e away that'll
kill us all
But I am doing everything I can
For the minds of men that I've never met
Too tired from
saving money
just to save m
yself
