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

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

[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

And to di-----

And when you w

[Bridge 1]
             
There's no rea

[Outro]

I'm not afraid

 of the man ne

He's calm and quiet with a heart of stone
             
He fires a fir

 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
