verse 1 

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 

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 (2x) 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 (2x)
